One of the largest markets at Seogwipo city is the Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market. It gathers a lot of vendors across few streets- from raw ingredients to cooked delicacies, or wearable items to souvenirs... many international brands (cosmetics or fashion) can also be found near to the market. It's almost like the busiest business district of the city. While it was interesting and fun to excavate the goods to satisfy the inner shopaholic, we could not resist to try the local delicacies. The best way to experience was of course to pick a seat next to the alley and order the skewers and Tteobokki (like most locals do). While they may not serve the best around, it was indeed a nice way to experience the local lifestyle. There are a lot to see and try at the Maeil Olle Market, one of the must visit attractions in Jeju.
