The Mercado de Bailen is a taste of the neighbourhood, of breakfast coffee on winter mornings, of the shopping trolley that vibrates nervously on the cobblestones of an old pavement, images of the Cautivo and the Trinidad at almost every stall, a murmur that smells of the village, the loving haggling that is close at hand, now converted into another everyday art form. The Bailen market occupies a secluded space in the heart of the Trinidad district, "but we are already the Bailen Miraflores district".

When choosing city breaks and holidays abroad travellers are increasingly seeking real life experiences to add some depth and added value to their trips. Expensive dining out is certainly not the only way to experience the cuisine of a region. From cookery courses and food markets to vineyard visits and farm tours, a combination of tasting, meeting and hearing the stories from locals connects the new age traveller to the history, customs and culinary differences of a new destination. Food markets are the heart and soul of Spanish gastronomy and they are the ideal place to get an authentic taste of the most delectable and sought after culinary products of the surrounding area. Mercado Atarazanas is the undisputed epicentre of a truly amazing array of fresh produce in central Malaga. The impressive century old wrought iron and glass building is an old school market, great for tasting a bit of Manchego cheese, a glass of local Malaga wine, a few oysters, a plate of Ibérico ham and also perfecto for sampling a wide range of traditional or contemporary Spanish tapas. Visiting a food market has long been the most authentic way to experience any destination, after all, what better way to get the pulse of a city than to see its proud vendors in full flow dealing with their regular customers. Open Monday to Saturday from 0800 to 1500 hrs. Remember that the market is not a museum. Vendors are locals earning a living for their families.

We stumbled across these markets by accident and so glad we did. More than 60 individual markets selling fresh fruit & vegetables, fish & seafood galore, olives, cheeses, hams, preserved meats, fresh meats and clothes on the outside. It was a hive of activity and a real treat to purchase fresh produce direct from the makers. We bought preserved tuna (aka ‘Ham of the Sea’) several varieties of olives and fruit. Be aware that it’s cash only.

We popped in here as they were starting to pack up for the day, it’s a relatively small market so less competition means the prices are a little more than the bigger markets like Jerez. Lots of vegetable and fruit sellers, fishmongers, herbs and spices and cheeses. Lots of local specialities here; Payoyo cheese, tuna, adobe seasoning etc. It’s well worth a look around even if you don’t buy anything. We especially like the staff here, I dropped my purse here which had a fair amount of money in it as well as my car parking ticket, when I went to buy something at another stall I suddenly realised I no longer had it so started frantically retracing my steps and searching for it. As I was doing this 2 women on one of the stalls beckoned me over and asked me if I had lost something, then they gave me my purse back which they had found on the ground. These women were so honest, they could have quite easily have kept my purse and I would have been non the wiser but they flagged me over to return it to me when they saw me searching, it really restored my faith in people, what amazing women.

We visited the market on a couple of times while in Almeria. We were amazed by the different types of food and drinks available. Everything thing looked lovely and fresh. If we go to Almeria again we will go self catering and go to the market for stuff to eat.

My wife and I recently spent a few days in Algeciras, Spain and visited the Historic District for lunch and sightseeing. We took the #3 bus from the Hotel Alboran where we stayed (beautiful hotel ) and spent the entire day sightseeing the area. There were many restaurants, cafes, shops, parks, and things to do. We wondered into the Mercado Ingeniero Torroja and were pleasantly surprised by all of the street vendors outside the Mercado building but by the shops inside it too. There were butchers, bakers, fisherman, farmers...etc....A real nice mixture of vendors. The Mercado Ingeniero Torroja was a great find in the Historic District of Algeciras.
