"Nothing much there expect a supermarket and 3 stalls"

"Ideal for doing your shopping in Toledo in intra muros, it is the place where the locals go because there are a few stalls but above all a small supermarket with a beautiful butcher's stand and another cheese and charcuterie stand. The products are of very good quality and the ladies are pleasant and give very good advice. Don’t hesitate to have your chicken fillets cut into thin slices, the same goes for sheep’s cheese. They are champions. You can find everything: dairy products, frozen products, fresh vegetables, wines, beers, fresh bread, crisps and pastries..."
