Feria Market - for local fruit, veg, fish & meat - a little gem

The Feria Market - fronting on to a street of the same name and in a northerly neighborhood with the same name; or it could be considered part of the Alameda area - consists of two fairly small and unpretentious buildings with some stalls and bars facing outwards, as well as stalls inside, as you can see in the pictures below.

This modest yet somewhat charming market is said to be Seville's oldest remaining one.

TIP: The cheapest fruit & vegetables are in two stalls next to each other at the front near the main street - they do a roaring trade! (That's where I got my grapes and fresh prunes from in the photo below.)

Even vegetables hang from the ceiling in this market; and as you can see, 
everything comes wrapped in paper.

Feria Market, Seville - there are various stalls on the outside, including a tapas bar. You can see the market is squashed in at an angle next to an old church. That's ancient Seville!

See more photos of Feria Market on "Azahar's" blog. She has a great write-up, chock full of photos, on the tapas bar pictured above: "La Cantina" at the Mercado de la Feria.
