This is supposedly the biggest food market in Europe (surprisingly), and it's just about a 5 min walk from my place. They sell all sorts of stuff - from candy to artichokes to ostrich eggs.
There are also several food stalls where you can cozy up and order stuff. Kris and I went to Bar Boqueria, towards the back of the market. Great tapas place, and no menus so it's turo-turo style. Half of the waiters are Filipino, and when I tried to take home our leftovers, they embarassingly explained that the owner doesn't allow take outs kasi tinotopak daw paminsan-minsan.
Kris had the seafood plate, which I can't have because I'm allergic. A plate for one person is good enough for two. The chorizo was yummy!
