1. 1 Papabuey Restaurant Oct 5
   Papabuey

   ★★★★ Ezra Halloway's pick

   Tight little asador-bar where you stand at the counter and the jamón arrives without asking. Good Ribera del Guadiana red. The kind of place where nobody hurries and the rain on the awning is part of the experience.

   Calle Vicente Barrantes 5, 06002 Badajoz, Spain
2. 2 Mercado Municipal de Badajoz Shop Oct 5
   Mercado Municipal de Badajoz

   ★★★★ Ezra Halloway's pick

   Covered food market open Monday to Saturday 7:30–14:00. Fish, cheese (torta del Casar cut to order), spice stalls with pimentón de la Vera, cured meats. The place to go when the street market is not running or the weather drives everyone indoors.
