Central Market of León

Central Market of León

Most travelers consider a visit to a Latin American country incomplete without a stop at a local market. It doesn't necessarily have to be motivated by a target purchase; often, the joy of market-going is in observing area life and spotting unfamiliar items and ingredients. Check out León's Mercado Central (Central Market) for all of the above, and sample specialties, including fresh cheese, at one of the food-vendor stalls.
