It feels like it might have been an interesting market at one point, now pretty much lost to tourists and instagram photo opps. Not all of it, but at least half or more. Prices are higher than what you can find right outside. I do get it. Businesses do what they need to do to sell, but in doing so, locals stop coming, and tourists fill it. It is on the smaller side compared to other similar markets I've visited elsewhere. When crowded, it is hard to move. Great location at Barca bridge and lovely venue as it is built on the foundation of a 12th century? castle. I tried two or three things there during our visit, they were just ok. I'm not including the jamon as they are simply purveyors of it. A couple of bars still seem to cater to some locals, along with the seafood stands. If you're visiting on a short trip, it seems worth the stop, especially the lovely small chapel right outside at the base of the bridge. I stayed over a month and was no more than 30 meters from the entrance. I went in with the intent to eat or shop maybe three times. It is a really welcome shortcut in the morning though to get to the bridge in air conditioning. I did that often. When did Paella become a Sevilla thing?
