Mercado del Este

This market isn't known for its shops as much as its selection of pleasant cafes ideal for a short break or a people-watching session. Sit down and enjoy authentic tapas with a nice glass of wine — get a bottle from one of the wine shops to bring back with you if you wish.

  • Opening House: Daily 8am–11:30pm

Cafes
