The city of Valladolid is in the province of Valladolid, in the Autonomous Community of Castilla y Léon, only 202 km from from Madrid. in our walking warrior mode we came across a familiar spot , a market! and of course, we needed to check it out. Turn out to be pretty nice interesting worth a repeat, eventually.

On the forecourt of San Benito Church (see post) at Calle Sandoval, 2 , there is the Mercado del Val , the oldest market that is preserved in the city is inspired by Les Halles in Paris, and was built between 1878 and 1882 , it is a completely metallic structure ship, with a rectangular corner plant a symbol of architectural fashion that strikes the end of the century with its steel skeletons. It was in 1877 that the town hall appointed an architect to create three new markets. The construction of the one that interests us today, the smallest of the three, begins in 1878. The 112 -meter long juggernaut takes almost four years to emerge. It was completed in 1882. The market experienced a first major project in 1900, at dawn of the 20C. We then proceed to dismantle the central dome which, however, gave a certain style to the building. A large renovation of the premises was carried out in 1981. After thirty years of operation, the market again closed their doors, in 2013 , and reopened on November 30, 2016.

With the remodeling of the mercado de Val, it was filled with new proposals and very varied food stalls. These food stalls are the soul of the market, and offer a varied offer that goes from the most typical products of Valladolid to delicacies from other places. The market is undoubtedly one of the best sites to go tapas in the city. While their positions are not restaurants to use, they offer all kinds of drinks, tapas and portions that will delight anyone.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
