Mercado del Este is an amazing place to get a taste of Santander…read more It's a nice place to get some bites, having a couple of gin tonics, and just relax for a few minutes...or hours. Generally speaking, Mercado del Este is a huge food hall, but it's a bit more elevated than your typical food hall US malls. Even on busy days, it should not be too difficult to find a table unless something is happening in El Centro. Depending on where you sit, you might have table service, but in most cases, you will have to order your food and drinks from one of the bars and bring it to the table. For US standards, the prices food and drink are not bad. In terms of bites, I recommend a plate of rabas and zamburiñas from Casa Del Indio (I might be off by a letter or two for the bar's name). Overall, service was pretty good, and I have not had any complaints regarding the service and friendliness of the staff.

Every major city in Spain has a central market, this one is the one in Vitoria Gasteiz…read more There are several dozen stands selling the best meats, fish, fruits and vegetables in the area. There are also some prepared and gourmet food stands where you can immerse yourself with the fragrances of Rioja wines, Txakoli or Idiazabal cheeses. The fresh meat and fish stands are well set up so the smell does not overpower the area nor the nearby food or market stands. It's located about 10 min walk from the Old City.
