Located in the middle of Calle Feria and next to the Omnium Santorum church, this market is one of the oldest in the city. The building dates from the 18th century and has been restored several times over the centuries. The complex is actually made up of two sheds separated by a street that crosses the market. Inside, you will appreciate the array of colours and smells of the products: fruit and vegetables, meat, fish and flowers, as well as some tasting points. The market is busiest on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

This market, surprisingly topped by apartments, is not as well stocked as the markets of La Encarnación, Feria or Triana, but it is still a pleasant place to stroll around and take your time. The building was constructed in 1947 by the architect Juan Talavera y Heredia on the site of an old prison. In the alleys you will find fruit and vegetables, flowers and fresh produce as well as fish and seafood. Toilets, a wine bar, a refreshment bar and restaurants and even a laundry complete the facilities.

Salon Italiano" was founded in 1940, its first name, because it was opened by two Italians who had settled in Cadiz, after passing through Madrid, where they already had their first store. Since then, several generations of Gaditanas have followed, because this ice cream shop is rightly revered for its excellent ice creams, with dreamy flavors: watermelon, pine nuts or prickly pear and many more... You can enjoy them on the spot, inside or on the terrace, or take them to the nearby Plaza de San Antonio.

The convent of Santa Ana is located between the Alameda de Hércules square and the banks of the Guadalquivir river and the Carmelite nuns prepare delicious pastries that they sell to visitors: yemas(a kind of egg and sugar flan), doughnuts (pestiños), fruit turnovers(empanadillas), doughnuts with cream filling(carmelitas) or chocolate and almond cakes. When it's time for Lent, you can find the unavoidabletorrijas, a bit like our French toast, but a bit softer.

Located in a small street, a stone's throw from the Alameda square, this is an address that opened in 2007 and will undoubtedly please all lovers of Italian ice cream. Whether you choose to eat them in a cone or in a jar, they will be delicious and the choice of flavours will be vast: up to forty flavours are offered in the summer, including fig, pistachio, persimmon and watermelon.

The province of Jaén, with 62 million trees, alone produces 41% of Spain's olive oil (65% of which is ordinary or lampante oil, unfit for consumption as is, reserved for industry or the trade for blends). In the heart of the Comarca de la Loma, Oleoturismo, a dynamic entity created by the Oleícola San Francisco company, offers an introduction to the world of olive oil with a visit to the almarazara (oil mill), the tour includes an explanation of the production process (as in the old days, with ancient presses, or nowadays, with modern centrifugal machines, and no longer actually cold-pressed, as is often misleadingly stated), the fate of the skin, pulp, flesh and stone (geothermal energy), and the screening of an explanatory documentary. The visit concludes with a tasting session(cata) of oils. The Cooperative Oléicole San Francisco produces several excellent oils, including, according to the label, a green, a red and a blue one with an olive at different degrees of ripeness.

Its name is not an advertising gimmick, it's a real little piece of France. In 2015, Sandrine Sánchez, a Frenchwoman, chose this former fabric store to set up a luminous patisserie. Nostalgic pastry-lovers can rush in to sample croissants, pains aux raisins or pains au chocolat. Or savor one of the many homemade cakes, made with butter of course. The only slight surprise is the price of the croissants, higher than many Parisian prices. But nostalgia is priceless, and the butter may come in business class.

Founded in 1983 by Manoli Rodríguez and Pepe Pérez, hence the name (Ma y Pe), this patisserie is one of Gaditana's sweet institutions. On the menu are sweets, chocolates, cakes and star products such as their violet-shaped and flavored sweets, presented in large glass jars, or their pan de cádiz, a kind of mazapán with candied fruit. With 300 specialties in all, it's considered one of the best assorted stores in Andalusia. A feast for the eyes, but not the only one.

It is the lighthouse of Puente Genil in the field of membrillo (quince paste), held today by the fourth generation, dedicated to its production and manufacture. The selection of the best products is done by hand in September. You can find natural membrillo, but also accompanied by nuts or other pieces of fruit, all presented in nice iron boxes representing, for example, Goya paintings and that you can keep after freshly tasted dough.

A very beautiful space to get acquainted with the wines of the region through a circuit that makes you see and understand the different methods of production and conservation according to the type of wine to which we wish to achieve. You can also enjoy wines and buy them in the shop.

Since 2010, this new Carmen market has replaced the old one. Don't expect a beautiful structure of industrial architecture from the beginning of the last century, this one is modern and its visual is not its first asset. On the other hand, there are many stands and products of first freshness. Parking and toilets at your disposal.

Founded in 1980 by Antonio Álvarez, father of the current managers, this company has since then endeavoured to maintain the same artisanal processes that lead to the creation of a Trévelez Ham. A production that benefits from a PGI, a protected indication of origin, guaranteeing compliance with the various stages: rigorous selection of the white hams from which they start and natural ageing of the hams, from 17 to 30 months, at a temperature naturally maintained at 15°C. In the shop you can buy the precious hams, but also the cheeses and wines of the Alpujarra. The house also organizes guided tours in a drying room to understand the different stages of processing: curing, adding butter to protect the ham, sweating... etc., followed by a tasting of hams from Trévelez, Iberian bellota, accompanied by wines from the region.

In this traditional pastry shop, you can discover and taste the turrolate, a sweetness typical of the region, created in the 17th century. It is a combination of turrón and chocolate, made from cocoa, almonds or peanuts, sugar and cinnamon. If, in ancient times, it was reserved for women who had just given birth, today everyone can enjoy it, by eating it alone or by accompanying it with a slice of bread coated with oil. Normally after that, you're not hungry anymore, but you never know...

This is the daily meeting point of the city's inhabitants. Before shopping for fresh products in the region, you can enjoy the soft silhouette of white arcades and the ochre of the blinds covering the patio. Set in what was the former convent of San Francisco, called the Madre de Madre de Dios de Osuna, it was one of the first buildings built in the seigneurial part of Osuna. From the old convent, there is only the cloister where the current outlets are arranged, the sculptures and objects that were present in the various churches of Osuna.

Ah, good Italian homemade ice-creams! Here, since 1936, dates from the foundation of the institution by Paolo de Rocco, the rallying point of all the gourmet ones of the capital granadine since four generations. A narrow flanked corridor of a very long aluminum bar leading to a small terrace at the bottom (fixes of Abenabar) to order baby food and horns: hazelnut, Málaga - yes, with the raisins -, Sherry, turrón, marron glacé..., of excellent cassata, queens of the night, of the cuts, like wonderful Cuore Amargo, and frozen tarts or horchatas and granizadas at handsome price. No color in view (us are hidden all!), order blind the exclusive recipes! Summer 2010, staff as a white shirt had the joy and the honor to serve Michelle Obama (and his staff) in visit! And every summer, if you notice world in the neighbourhoods, they are the guests who has a presentiment of themselves there.

Designed by the architect José Marin Baldó, this market, built in the second half of the 19th century, follows all the codes of iron architecture used in this field. Completely renovated in 2012, but keeping its structure, it is of course the ideal place to buy fresh produce, with an entire floor in the basement dedicated to the city's impressive fish and seafood resources. For the anecdote, Marie Curie visited it and a commemorative plaque celebrates this event inside the market.

When it comes to Spanish wines, we often only know Rioja, Jerez and sometimes Ribera del Duero, and that's it. In 2016, Ana Linares decided to open this wine library in order to promote other little-known wines such as Jumilla from Murcia, Utiel-Requena from the Valencian Community and Montilla-Moriles from Andalusia. It's a place not only for discovering these new vintages, but also for chatting, reading a book or listening to music.

Opened in 1989, this little store, which belongs to Seville Cathedral, offers a good assortment of the sweets produced by the most emblematic convents of the city of Seville, as well as towns in its province (Estepa, Bormujos, Osuna...). Some recipes are centuries old, others are secret, but you'll also have to reckon with seasonal sweets: turrones, mazapanes and polvorones for Christmas. And pestiños de miel or rosquitos fritos, the kind of fritters eaten at Easter.

In front of the restaurant of the same name is a narrow shop that sells good products: wines, pickled vegetables, pasta, preserved… from Spain, France and Italy, in particular. The prices are quite high, but the quality is at the meeting. 

In December 2021, La Rondeña, known to all sweet tooths and originally from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, opened a new store in Cadiz, in place of the old Pastelería la Camelia, which is still remembered by the locals despite its closure 30 years ago. You will find everything that has made the reputation of this house since 1961: the "masa real" its star product but also mantecados, polvorones, in short, Andalusian sweets. Very nicely presented.
