Virgen del Rosario Market
Indoor municipal market in Cádiz's Pueblo Gitano neighbourhood with 25 stalls. Fresh Atlantic seafood, meat, and produce, open Monday to Saturday 9am to 2pm.
Mercado Virgen del Rosario is an indoor municipal market in the Pueblo Gitano neighbourhood of Cádiz. Open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 2pm, it serves the daily food shopping needs of the surrounding residential community with 25 stalls covering fresh seafood, meat, poultry, fruit, vegetables, bread, and prepared foods. It's one of several municipal markets in Cádiz spread across the city's different neighbourhoods. The market accepts both cash and mobile payments and is fully wheelchair accessible.
What to buy
The stalls lean heavily towards fresh produce and seafood, which makes sense given Cádiz's position on the Atlantic coast. You'll find locally caught fish, quality cuts of meat and poultry, seasonal fruit and vegetables, cheese, and bread. There's also a Rincón Gastronómico where you can grab prepared food and seafood on site, making it worth a stop even if you're not doing a full shop.
