What to buy
The stalls cover a wide range: fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and wine and cava from prestigious regions. Several stalls also serve prepared international food including Peruvian and Japanese dishes. What sets El MercatVell apart is that each stall has its own tasting bar, so you can sample products or grab a glass of wine while you shop.
