This feria was HUGE, much larger than I was anticipating. There must have been 500 stalls spanning…read moreone side of the road over 3-4 blocks. It's 90% fruit and veg (basically everything you can imagine) with very low prices, similar to shopping at La Vega. It does get very busy here, I arrived around noon and I'm guessing it's better to show up in the early morning to avoid the crowds. Besides fruit and veg, there are 6-7 fresh fish stalls down at the far west end, and some other vendors selling household items, eggs, nuts, etc.

Feria San Camilo is a Friday market running from 8am-3pm. I've recently moved to this neighbourhood…read moreand I couldn't be happier that it is so close by! There are very few ferias in the very centre of Santiago Centro (I'm guessing due to proximity to La Vega) so this is a great treat. I find the prices to be on par with those of La Vega, so basically 3 times cheaper than the grocery store. This feria is quite big, it spans 7-8 blocks, so you can really find everything you need. 80% is fresh fruit and veg, but there are herbs/spices, dried goods (nuts and confectionary), a few fresh fish stalls at one end, household goods (toilet paper, batteries, dishes, etc), a great popcorn guy and even pet food and some clothing stalls.

I was in…read moreSantiago on business, and I will often visit local grocery stores to pickup pre-made sandwiches and snacks. However, I was amazed at the wealth of fresh items in this huge store. I wish I had booked an accommodation with a proper kitchen so that I could pick up some fresh seafood. As a consolation prize, I purchased the freshly prepared paella. It was outstanding!

Absolutely love this store. If you need something, you will find it here. The food selection is…read moreincredible. There is also wine and alcohol. The wine selection is excellent. And clothes and other things. The store gets really busy but the lines move quickly. If you buy bread or produce don't forget to weigh it before you go to check out. There are scales in the respective areas that will weigh your stuff and spit you out a Tag. The bread is very fresh and really good. Come in. You will be glad you did.
