The market has been the daily shopping place for central Palma for generations. The ground floor holds fruit, vegetables, cured meats and cheese, and the fish stalls draw the largest crowd. Bars along the edges serve small plates and coffee. It is a good place to see how locals shop and to try Mallorcan products.
