The Valencia Central Market is a vibrant and bustling attraction in the heart of Spain's third-largest city. This historic market has been in operation since 1916, offering a sensory experience that combines sights, sounds, and aromas. The market's ornate iron structure and beautiful stained-glass ceiling create a stunning backdrop for the variety of stalls selling fresh produce, meats, cheeses, and seafood.
