Mercado del Barranco

This guide to the Mercado del Barranco in Seville traces the riverside iron-and-glass hall raised in the 1880s, its ironwork locally credited to Gustave Eiffel's studio, though it was built for an unglamorous job: the city's wholesale fish exchange. You'll hear how porters and buyers filled it before dawn with dripping crates and the smell of the river, until the trade eventually moved elsewhere and the glass fogged over with disuse. It's a building whose appetite simply changed shape over the decades.
