PLAZA DE ABASTAS - MERCADO SAN BLAS

The market occupies a building built in 1927 by the architect Fermín Álamo. Its façade is a succession of brick arches and friezes representing plant themes. Until 1837 there was a church dedicated to Saint Blaise on this site. After its destruction, an open-air market was held here, which was then called the Plaza de la Verdura (Vegetable Square). Nowadays it has many stalls selling fresh produce.
