Follow Me to the Impressive Central Market of Valencia | 瓦伦西亚中央大市场
Have you ever heard of Valencia's Mercado Central? This market is not only one of the largest in Europe, but it also boasts an impressive architectural style of Valencian Art Nouveau. For today's MarketFriday, let's pay it a visit together!
The entire market is over 8000 square meters in size, with numerous intricate details both inside and outside. The ceiling looks especially striking lined with materials such as wood, iron, and ceramics. As you can see here, I took so many photos of it that my neck started to hurt.:p
The sun shone through the roof and window panels, making the spacious market appear bright and airy. It's such a delight to walk around inside, admiring the stunning structure and vivid murals, as well as being immersed in all the rich sights, sounds, and smells.
I tried pistachios in a huge date, a heavenly cheese cake, and a crunchy and chewy turrón... and the clementina juice was sweeter than love at first sight. Upon leaving, I also packed the local specialty paella Valenciana, yummylicious as always!
Aside from food stalls, the market also has souvenir shops and eateries. If you ever visit Valencia, trust me, this amazing market definitely worth your time. :)
你听说过西班牙瓦伦西亚的中央大市场吗?这个市场不仅是欧洲最大的之一,它瓦伦西亚式新艺术风格的建筑也非常醒目。今天的周五集市,就让我们一起来看看这处大市场吧!
整个市场面积超过八千平米,建筑内外都有很多精美的细节。内部的天花尤为引人注目,由木材、铁、陶瓷等材料制成。我在市场里到处走动时,一直抬头看和拍那些结构和壁画,脖子都仰酸了XD。暖暖的阳光透过屋顶和窗户照射进来,让宽敞的市场显得很亮堂。
除了欣赏叹为观止的建筑,当然也要吃吃吃。我买了好多小吃,比如裹着开心果的大枣、起司蛋糕、牛轧糖...... 还有甜过初恋的克里曼丁红橘汁(还记得查日本柚时已经凌乱过,刚刚查这个clementina发现果然又是杂交品种,由地中海红橘与甜橙杂交而成)。等到依依不舍必须离开的时候(因为要关门了),还打包了当地特色烩饭,西班牙烩饭据说就是起源于瓦伦西亚,当地特色的一般会加入兔肉和蜗牛等食材。
除了食品摊,大市场里还有纪念品商店和小餐馆。如果你以后到瓦伦西亚,记得去逛逛这个美美的中央市场哦~

Very nice! Can go there every day to try different food. Maybe I should think about pitching a tent next to the market 🤣
Haha, good idea! I stayed at a campsite in Valencia for over a month, so had lots of food there...
我的老天鵝啊~~~ 也太美了,我要暈倒了... 為什麼你都可以去這種地方,老天鵝不公平... 😡
😁让我借用一下那句老话: 這世界並不缺少美,而是缺少發現。
食物出现前的照片总让我想抬着头看,哈哈哈哈。
哈哈哈 代入感拉满
I think it wins ceiling of the day ! Looks like a great place !
Ceiling of the day, hahaha, love your idea!
Looks like you loved it :) To us it's the best market ever! But maybe we're biased because we live here :)
Definitely one of the best! I also "lived" there, but in a motorhome.:)
You lived in Valencia? When? And Where?
Beginning of this year, on campgrounds and wild camping.
Ahhh ... there is some good camping south of Valencia, around El Saler!!!! Did you go there, if not, next time!!!! The pictures look like early in the pandemic? The market looks very empty.
It's the beginning of this year. I don't remember camping at El Saler, thanks for the advice!
Beautiful photos, and what an incredible place, with rich diversity of products! There are so many classy classic buildings through Europe, resisting to the time...
Very well said. Thanks for dropping by!
I'd love to visit Spain someday. I love the European architecture T_T
Amazing pics btw. Loved the exterior.
Hope you get to do it one day! :)
beautiful
Indeed.
