Seville Markets
Did you know…Seville is home to some of the world’s most incredible street markets which offer delicious Spanish delicacies and goods? With markets all over the city, you’re never far away from authentic, fresh, cheap produce that will make cooking like a pro easy!
Street markets provide the ultimate on-the-go food experience, so you can grab a fresh lunch on the way to or from lectures. Plus, if you’re on a tight budget, getting ingredients from a street market rather than a supermarket is a great idea because you’ll usually find them much cheaper.
Traditional street markets also offer you a way to immerse yourself deeply into Spanish culture, giving you the ultimate student experience in Seville. While there are many street markets around Seville, some of the most popular include:
- Mercado de Triana
- Mercado de Feria
- Mercado del Arenal
Why not have a shared cooking night with your flatmates? You can make a list of ingredients, head out to the market, grab fresh and delicious produce, pop your favourite playlist on and cook up a storm together. Sounds like a perfect evening to us!
