OK, so it’s not really a street market, but we had to include Zaragoza’s best and most historic market – the Mercado Central.It’s a grand space of columns, archways and cavernous naves, which was inaugurated in 1903. A National Historic Monument, it features a range of stalls from seafood and meat to vegetables, cheeses and those selling bakery products.
