Mercado do Rio Vermelho, Market hall in Chapada do Rio Vermelho, Salvador, Brazil.
Mercado do Rio Vermelho is a large market hall in Salvador with separate sections where fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, and flowers are sold. The hall also has small restaurants and shops selling handmade products.
The hall was founded in 1973 when the state of Bahia transformed a local fair into an organized supply center. This project brought structure and stability to the city's food supply.
The market brings together people from the neighborhood who come to share regional dishes and keep traditional Bahian recipes alive. Visitors can watch vendors preparing fresh ingredients and see locals ordering their favorite foods at the stalls.
The hall is easy to walk through and has clear sections to navigate, though it gets crowded during busy times. Early morning is the best time to visit when selection is largest and the hall is less busy.
Many visitors don't know that the hall has several small restaurants inside where you can sit down and eat local specialties. These hidden dining spots are popular with people who want a real meal quickly without going to a separate restaurant.
