About
Quick facts: The market features over 60 stalls selling local produce, from fresh seafood to artisan cheeses. It attracts both locals and foodies who come here to taste traditional Riojan flavors.
Highlights: Vendors still use traditional wooden boxes known as 'cajones' to display produce, preserving a century-old market custom. On weekends, the lively tapas bars spill into the streets, turning the market into an open-air feast under the fairy lights.
