Experiencing La Vega Central

La Vega Central is the biggest market in Santiago. It was created in 1895 by Agustín Gómez García
as a place to buy and sell fruit and vegetables. It is located in Recoleta, and you can go there by bus and
by car (Metro stations are extremely far!). It is a fascinating, colourful, and popular market: more than
100,000 people go every week, especially on Saturdays and Sundays.
You can find fresh fruit, vegetables, and a variety of food products like cereals, tea, meat, rice,
pastas and coffee. Additionally, you can buy other products like shampoo, toilet paper, detergent, towels,
and also food and cleaning products for your dogs, cats, and birds!
Cheap restaurants are also an attractive part of visiting La Vega. There are lots of them, and they
offer delicious meals for a very good price! For example, you can find sandwiches like Chacarero, Italiano
and Barros Luco, hot dogs, French fries, pork legs, beans, sopaipillas, and the legendary cazuelas. All these
are very popular meals in Chile, and tourists love them too. And warning! You won't find expensive
gourmet restaurants like in Las Condes or Vitacura. Everything is popular and convenient in La Vega!
If you want to have a fun weekend, visit La Vega Central in any moment of the year. In winter you
can have a delicious charquican, and in summer you can refresh with a cold fruit juice.
