  2. La Pescheria

    La Pescheria is a huge fish market set out over several courtyards and alleys; here you can buy fresh mussels and sea urchins to eat on the spot. The shouts of the fishmongers, the hundreds of gleaming fish, the massive swordfish and dozens of squid displayed on the wooden tables are unforgettable (and delicious too!). This street show is not to be missed at any cost and if you're staying in self-catering accommodation it is heaven for a fantastic lunch.
