Around Cadiz, there are a number of markets that provide a great experience whether you are buying or just looking at what the locals are buying. Come November 1 (All Saints’ Day or Tosantos celebrations), the markets are gaily decorated and sell nuts, fruits and other items that will be used for the occasion.
Central Market
This is a covered market that sells a wide range of food products: the catch of the day (the freshest fish you can get), meat, vegetables and other souvenirs. Although you will not necessarily buy anything here (since that usually means that you have to have the means to cook what you bought), it is fun to watch what the local housewives and chefs are buying.
