"Mercado del Puerto" (Port's Market) it is a large and ancient building in front of the port, where are many restaurants of typical food. It is a "must see activity", for tourists and local people. From Monday to Friday, you will find office workers and bank's employees having their lunch; on weekends, families and friends. On holidays, the Mercado is a party! el Mercado del Puerto es un edificio grande y antiguo frente al puerto, en donde hay muchos restaurantes de comida típica.

Y no olvidar el "medio y medio", la bebida típica del Mercado. ¡Salud!
