Seville offers some excellent open markets, which we have divided into two categories:
Open every day except Sunday from around 8.00 am – 2.00 pm, and which are the traditional places to buy fresh groceries. Shop around and compare quality and prices between the many food stands.
Feria market
The oldest of Seville's municipal provisions markets, about halfway along Calle Feria. Home to La Cantina, the best of the market bars. We highly recommend to go there for a Tapas lunch at 1-2pm. The food is super fresh and delicious.
C/ Feria, s/n (next to Omnium Santorum church)
Arenal market
In Calle Pastor y Landero. The building is magnificent, but beginning to look in need of some refurbishment.
C/ Pastor y Landero, s/n
Encarnación market
Finally reopened at the end of 2010 in its new purpose-built accommodation in the Metropol Parasol. Not as traditional in appearance as the other markets, but pleasant, clean and spacious.
Plaza de la Encarnación s/n (below the "mushrooms")
Triana market
At the Triana end of the Isabella II bridge, this busy and popular market was lovingly restored a few years ago, and successfully combines the clean and modern with a traditional feel.
Plaza del Altozano, s/n (at the corner of Isabel II bridge)
Are held periodically to buy and sell collectables, second hand items, paintings and comparable items.
El Jueves
El Jueves is the antiques market held every Thursday (Jueves) in Calle Feria, where, if you're lucky, you may be able to pick up a painting or some ceramics at a bargain price. Most likely it will be something second-hand rather than genuinely antique, but the fun is in the browsing, or in watching the ebb and flow of humanity from one of the local bars. There's been a market here for more than 700 years, which is pretty mind-boggling.
Calle Feria, every Thursday from 9 am to 1 pm
Collector's market
The collectors' market is another Sunday morning market, held in the Plaza del Cabildo, off the Avenida de la Constitución. It's mostly coins and stamps, but items like military medals will turn up here too. Unless you're a collector yourself the location is probably more interesting than the market.
Plaza del Cabildo, every Sunday morning
Art market
The art market in the Plaza del Museo outside the Fine Arts Museum is the third of the Sunday morning markets, and a visit here is a nice complement to going to the museum itself. It's not generally Michaelangelo, but if you're looking for a souvenir painting of something in Seville, this is the place to come. And if the vendor does turn out to be the next van Gogh, you'll be quids in.
Plaza del Museo, every Sunday morning
Plaza del Duque Hippy market
From Wednesday to Saturday, outside the main El Corte Ingles. Big on handbags, belts and jewellery, filled out with the odd handcraft stall.
Plaza del Duque de la Victoria, on Thu, Fri, Sat
Charco de la Pava
Seville's famous/notorious Saturday morning flea market, which moved from the Alameda when it was renovated, and can now be found on the far side of Cartuja island. Essentially a second-hand market for just about everything, it's definitely caveat emptor.
