Hands down the best place to get fresh foods! There is a little coffee place inside that offers some of the best cappuccinos I had in Spain no sugar needed it's on the left hand side if you walking in the main doors. Great candy offerings on the right hand side. Strawberry here are the sweetest I have ever had ! I have been to all 4 major city markets in Spain and hands down this is the best one super clean, sweet people and just super cozy!

Just spent the last week in Valencia and surrounding areas. I believe I averaged about 18k steps a day just from all the walking. I noticed that the closer you get towards the center of town, the cafes and restaurants and bars become more abundant. Top it off with a wonderful market such as this place, and you may have found a place to live for the rest of your life. Inside, brace yourself to be hit with vendors of all types: fresh meats, dried meats, cheeses, olives, oils, vegetables, fruits, candies, pastries, trinkets, seafood, collectibles, drinks, shall I go on? I think you get the picture. At one vendor I bought some delicious dried cured ham, as well as some truffle infused cheese that he let me taste test. Another vendor sold me some tasty paella and this potato omelet tortilla that blew my mind. I would love to download photos of my fare but unfortunately my phone got destroyed during my long transit home. Note: do not leave your phone next to your reclining seat only to have it slide down and get crushed by the mechanisms. Anyways, I had a blast walking around all the aisles, being pleasantly surprised at each turn of my head. The market was kept clean, and the vendors were very friendly and helpful, and definitely grateful for your purchase. I already want to go back. And who knows, maybe even live there.

Tough not to compare Mercados but this one is bigger (surprisingly) than the ones I've experienced in Madrid/Barcelona. Crowded on a rainy Monday late morning. A good mix of food stands, butchers, Bakeries, produce and speciality shops. Of course plenty of Iberico Ham stands as well Paella. Picked up a couple of T-Shirts and a Valencia shopping bag. Although it was early, couldn't resist stopping at Benvolgut-Artisan Vermouth. I ordered the semi-sweet and it was excellent! Cocktail presentation along with the upbeat service was impressive. Tried the Pastilos at Paco Roig-one was with Carne and the other with fish wrapped in a crunchy dough. Both were delicious. Picked up a Jambon and cheese sandwich which was also tasty. So many stands, it's overwhelming in a good way. Friendly people behind the counters. Better to go early as they Market closes early at 3 and is also closed on Sunday. Must stop when in Valencia!

The paella was delish and there was a great selection of foods for cheap prices but it is a bit crowded

This place contains an eatery, city information desk, a market with fresh seafood and vegetables, and trinket shops all under one roof. It's touristy, yet a ton of locals frequent it too. With restaurants surrounding it as well as historical buildings, this is a perfect central spot to begin your tour of Valencia. Enjoy the journey!

Great place for fresh fish, meats, veggies, cheese, fruits, etc.... Everyone is super friendly and helpful... Tips: the fish stalls close earlier than the others so get there early for fish... Tip: The market closes at 3pm but really starts winding down at 2pm, so go in the morning for the best selection.... The ambience is busy with a lot of people in the aisles... Part of the experience!!

The Valencia Central Market in the heart of Barrio El Carmen is a must see for travelers. It's the largest covered market in Europe with beautiful architectural design. Filled with local fruit & vegetables, nuts, meat (jamon was my favorite), and seafood! Tip: Arrive early to avoid the crowds if you'd like to take photos. Recommendations: 1) Try both the Serrano & Iberico Jamon! So good! 2) Buy some Bomba Paella Rice & Paella Seasoning to take home!

First and last place to visit when in Valencia. Come for the fresh produce, excellent meat and poultry, and grab some food at Central Bar.

Originally built as an open market middle of 19th century, was turned into indoor market at the beginning of the 20th century. Built in Art Nouveau style, it resembles more to a church than a market. We were surprised it was open during covid summer of 2021. Any food you can think of will be displayed for you to try and buy. Pata Negra was a must for us. The market is open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.,

This a a nice true people's market. You can buy fresh fish, eel, pork, chicken, vegetables, cheeses, baked good, dry goods, etc. It's one of the largest markets in Europe and it has 14 sides....The parrot is the "mascot" for the market since it is said that you can go in and hear or say whatever you want about politics, city life, etc. Spend some time walking around the different stalls and enjoy the smells and the colors of all the stuff for sale....it's just wonderful. There are some restaurants inside and around the market for affordable prepared food. Enjoy ! They usually close by 3pm, so arrive early.
