Markets are at their best in the morning when the produce is fresh and abundant. So your tour begins bright and early at one of the most beautiful and active local food markets, in the charming Triana district. See what the locals are buying for dinner, with a huge variety of products and fresh produce on offer. Be introduced to one of the most famous gourmet products in Spain, melt-in-the-mouth Iberian ham or cheese for vegetarians, with a glass of wine, sherry, or a soft drink to wash it down. Talk about the process of obtaining this remarkable cured meat. Then enjoy the aromas and flavors of some different olive varieties, marinated in typical Spanish dressings. After this heavenly tasting experience, cross the Guadalquivir River over the bridge of Triana and enjoy one of the most spectacular views of Seville. The next stop is the Encarnacion market, located inside the biggest wooden structure in the world, which the locals affectionately refer to as the mushrooms. This market is a much more modern affair with a rich assortment of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish stands. As you wander stop to try a snack such as a montadito (little sandwich) with a drink of your choice. Your scenic stroll will take you through Regina Street, one of the best areas by in-the-know locals and tourists for secondhand boutiques and cultural cafes. Arrive at the Mercado de la Feria, one of the oldest in town, dating all the way back to 1719. Admire the architecture, the atmosphere, and the produce on offer, which is consistently high quality and reasonably priced. Stop to enjoy a delicious tapa of fried fish and glass of something to refresh you. If you are lucky enough to book this tour on a Thursday, you will also be able to visit the oldest flea market in the city located at the same address as the Mercado.
