Santiago’s Mercado Central
In downtown Santiago, Chile there sits an always crowded market known as Mercado Central. On tours of downtown its a standard tourist stop, though it has yet to lose it’s authenticity as this photo reveals. Seafood is the draw, either from the overpriced eateries in the center where old school yellers lure you to a table or the stands where area chefs are searching for Chile’s seafood bounty. Congrio, chorito, salmon, merluzza are all on the menu.
