Mercado II Ensanche, Municipal market in II Ensanche district, Pamplona, Spain.
Mercado II Ensanche is a marketplace in the II Ensanche district with a large ground floor sales area where approximately 74 stalls are arranged in rings around a central fountain. This layout makes it easy to navigate and discover the different vendors and products.
The market opened in 1948 and was an important step in providing the growing neighborhood with fresh goods and local products. Since then it has remained a familiar place where people meet and shop.
Local vendors sell regional specialties like fresh produce, meats, seafood, salt-cured items, and traditional Navarran dishes that have been part of community eating habits for decades.
You can reach the market through four different entrances at the street corners, making it easy to access from different directions. The best time to shop is in the morning when offerings are freshest and selection is widest.
The building complex is historically protected and displays interesting post-war architecture that reflects the city's modernization efforts of that era. The central fountain was originally part of a larger urban design plan for shaping the neighborhood.
