Mercado De Algirós: Visiting A Local Market In A Neighborhood In Valencia

in Worldmappin4 days ago (edited)

Hello people!

Sometimes we like to visit exceptional and impressive places, which stand out and attract our attention, places known and which many want to visit. While we forget about others, those other popular places, from day to day, from the daily routine of life, which nobody thinks about and which almost everyone goes to automatically.
But sometimes, we also pass by one of them, which we may not visit regularly and then, when we do so again, we observe it as if someone had travelled miles to be there, with different eyes. Perhaps sometimes travelling is simply seeing things around us with a different look, no matter how famous or magnificent they are or not...

So on an unusual tour, I stop for a moment at a municipal market in the city. In one of those popular markets in the neighborhoods, where it seems that there is nothing special or exceptional, but the passing of daily life. And one of those markets, in the Spanish city of Valencia, is the Algirós Market, Mercado o Mercat d'Algirós. One of many others, nothing more, but also at a time, or at a moment when there were not many people, the perfect time to go there and take some photos.

There, with its striking façade of various colours and other shops or businesses attached to it that are unfortunately closed, next to a park where surely at later hours children will appear to play there while other people will come and go to buy more things to eat. The normal life of each person in a city like this, right?

And we enter, surprised by the few people, the little noise, as is usually normal. But I look at my watch, it is not rush hour, nor the first hour of the day, nor the last hour when everyone is rushing, a time when many people cannot come here, so I have been lucky to be able to pass through this market in an extraordinary way.

So I walk through empty aisles, with only a few solitary customers, so I can see the different stalls and shops better, and the different display windows. Although I notice that many of them are selling ham, ham as we like in Spain, and charcuterie in general. So we have hams hanging, much more ham, chorizo ​​and cheeses in many of the stalls. And some, like the one I show the most, even have a gourmet touch, there is a large digital screen and other select products, even from other origins and foreign names.

At other stalls there were more hanging hams and more cheeses, and also fewer people.

Until we reached the fruit and vegetable area, where there were few people at that time, but there were lots of colorful goods on display for sale. There are even bakeries with sweets, and further on, fishmongers with fresh produce, I imagine a lot of it from the Mediterranean Sea, and again, going around, we return to the hanging ham legs and the best Spanish and other cheeses. Perhaps that is the essence and the local taste, that of the people from the neighborhood who visit this humble but well-stocked municipal market every day.

This is how this short and simple visit to a place that shows us the normality of life, the pleasure of eating, the traditional local customs, and that moment of being able to observe everything and start to feel a little hungry...

Thanks for reading! Have an amazing and nice day.

You conquered me the exactly moment in which I read "Mediterranean life" on your profile 😎
I definitely need to visit this place when I come to Valencia, I love to try local products and enjoy this kind of atmosphere when I'm traveling. And Spain is one of my favorite countries from this point of view.
Saludos desde Cerdeña ✌️🤠

Ciao! I see we share the same paradise, shores of the Mare Nostrum 😉 se vieni vai prima al Mercato Central ancora più grande e con architectura modernista bella. But local markets are also nice where you can see people in their normal lives... grazie per commentare! Saludos desde Valencia 😁🙌

Me encanta! Es prácticamente un mall o centro de compras, aquí un mercado es algo bastante anárquico y desorganizado jeje...

La verdad que hay cierto orden en estos mercados municipales pero también es porque era una hora de poca afluencia, a otras hay más follón en los pasillos!

Bueno, por eso hay que saber a qué horas ir. Yo odio hacer las compras, a cualquier hora del día 😂

Es mejor ir a los mercados, más auténtico todo, pero si hay gente más desesperante!

This market looks very beautiful and feels great. In a market and the more people there are in this place, the more people will come to see the beauty of the place. However, the place is beautiful and very well known, but since you are very lucky and were able to come to this place at a beautiful time, it was actually the best for you. Are all kinds of things available in this market?

Yes very beautiful and pleasant, at that time it was quite quiet and empty it's better like this with less crowd... and many things are available there. Thanks!
