1. Mercado de la Merced (Mexico City, D.F., Mexico)


Why you should go: La Merced is the largest market in Mexico City, which is impressive considering there are over three hundred permanent markets in the city. Look for vendors selling cacti, avocados, and beautiful fresh fruit!

4. Mercado de San Miguel (Madrid, Spain)

Why you should go: Spanish cheeses, meats, olives, bread, wine. Located off Plaza Mayor, this market has everything you need for amazing tapas. The people of Madrid stay up late, so this market is open every day until midnight or later, making it a great location for a night out.

Why you should go: JUST IMAGINE eating these macarons and smelling fragrant lavender at this market in the south of France. Just a stone’s throw away from the coast, it’s the perfect spot to pick up a snack before heading to the beach.
