Mercado Central.: Experience a Tradition
  • Tip Rating:
  • Santiago Mercado Central.
  • Fish Stall, Mercado Central
  • by petirrojo
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • How can you not go to a place that is: A) a landmark, B) a place to check out the most unusual variety of fish you've ever seen in a market, C) sample that fish, and D) walk the aisles of a place so beloved that it was made into the setting for a telenovela (television program)?

    In short, you cannot miss it. As you enter, the touts will pitch their restaurants (several are housed in the building), and you'll immediately see the fishmongers slicing and dicing glossy, fresh fish. Wander around: there's more than fish here. You'll find poultry, fruits and vegetables, herbs, & more.

    Things To Do: Tasting Santiago: Neighborhood & Food Tour
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • An expat from the U.S., Liz Caskey knows Santiago like a native and she leads groups on walking tours that take in the sites of Barrios Brasil and Yungay, west of Santiago's center.

    Along the way, you learn a little about architecture, the character of the neighborhoods, and the people who live there, stopping off for supplies at a local market for the finishing touches for a gourmet lunch that Liz prepares and serves in her loft in Barrio Yungay.
