Markets in Murcia range from a historic covered food hall to weekly open-air stalls spread across the city's neighbourhoods. The star is Mercado de Verónicas, a Modernist building from 1910 where you'll find fresh seafood, cured meats, and local produce from the fertile Segura river valley. On Saturdays, the bars inside prepare whatever you buy at the stalls.
The city also runs several large street markets throughout the week. The biggest is La Fama on Thursdays, with over 650 stalls stretching along Avenida La Fama. You can check the official Murcia tourism site for seasonal hours and special market events.
