Mercado de Correos

The Mercado de Correos occupies the former Murcia Post Office building, built between 1930 and 1932 and restored by the architect Enrique de Andrés, who transformed it into a leading gastro-market in the Region of Murcia. The main space houses 14 food and drink stalls, a bar for wine and vermouth tasting, and a glazed terrace called El Invernadero (The Greenhouse). Beneath El Invernadero, a 1937 bunker built during the Civil War is preserved, with capacity for 200 people. The food offering includes stalls serving Murcian, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, rice dishes, fish, meat, tacos, burgers, poke and Thai fusion cuisine, as well as confectionery and ice cream. The market offers daily promotions Monday to Friday, discounted takeaway service and delivery, and a programme of events including concerts such as one by Nena Daconte.
