MARKETS

This hoarder’s paradise – the stalls of which are manned by characteristically loud and cheeky Andalusian vendors – has been a staple of the city’s street life for as far back as many locals can remember and is a great place to spend a Thursday morning (Jueves in Spanish, hence the market’s name), even if you don’t end up buying anything.

Feria

Market-lovers will find their heaven in and around Calle Feria: as if that street’s Thursday morning extravaganza weren’t enough, about halfway along its length is Seville’s oldest market, the Mercado de Feria. Situated right next door to a beautiful 13th-century church, Feria offers punters a comprehensive selection of fresh fruit, veg, meat and flowers as well as superb tapas bar, La Cantina.
