Cordoba’s new gastro-market, Mercado Victoria, has opened this week; just in time for the city’s famous Patios Festival (8-19 May). It is the first gourmet market in Andalucia, similar in concept to the popular San Miguel market in Madrid, and promises to be a major new attraction for Cordoba – a city which is fast becoming Andalucia’s most exciting foodie destination.
Located on the attractive tree-lined Paseo de la Victoria, a short walk from the Mezquita and Juderia historic centre and close to the main shopping district, the market is set in the beautifully-restored “Casteta de Circulo“, a 19th-century wrought-iron pavilion once used for fairs and exhibitions.
