The market occupies the site of the old shipyard, and a horseshoe arch of the former building is built into the entrance wall. Inside, a large stained glass window lights the hall and the stalls run in straight rows. The fish counters, the fruit and the cured meats are the best part, and a few bars serve tapas standing up. Expect a visit of 30 to 60 minutes.
