Feria La Vega

This is a market. Fruit, vegetables, beans, grains, spices, meat, cheeses, drinks, +++. A real food market that is big and cheap. Just north of the Río Mapucho and the Plaza de Armas, this roaring, reeking monstonsity is an absolute must.

The smell isn’t amazing though, so when I walked past the semillería (seed/spice shop), naturally I went in. Ten minutes later I came out laden with cumin, tumeric, dried herbs, granola, almonds, cinnamon and clove. Don’t ask why…because I was excieted. Happy moment.
