Food Markets<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Food markets hold a special place in local hearts. They’re more than just a place to come and shop, they’re community centers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Seville is a city where people buy their groceries daily, not weekly. You’ll see the same faces at the market every day, buying the same things, from the same people! <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Locals will know the stall-owners by name, and they’ll know all of their customers’ names, too! After perusing the stalls, most sevillanos<\/em> will round off their shopping trip by going to the market bar (every market has one!), ordering a coffee, and checking in with the other shoppers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The produce here is all about seasonality. You won’t see the same fruits and vegetables in March as you’ll see in October, and every season brings new colors and smells to the stalls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
