Mercasantander is located in Peñacastillo within Santander, in Spain’s Cantabria region. It is a physical wholesale market centred on fruit and vegetables. Mercasa’s profile lists a site of 193,980 m² and 44 businesses, comprising 19 produce firms and 25 complementary businesses. No clear measurement year accompanies these figures. They describe the centre’s structure rather than guaranteeing how many stands will be trading on a particular day. The address is Joaquín Salas 6, 39011 Santander.
The operator describes the location as approximately 6 km from the city centre and less than 4 km from the port and airport. For a commercial delivery, vehicle access, waiting space and an agreed loading slot matter more than distance alone. The produce hall has cold-storage provision and facilities associated with packaging and producer activity. A prospective user should establish which facilities are actually available under the proposed arrangement. An infrastructure description is not a service tariff and should not be treated as an entitlement to storage or handling.
A buyer should select a supplier according to assortment, order size and the ability to replenish stock regularly. For seasonal fruit, specify variety and ripeness; for vegetables, agree size grade and acceptable quality tolerances. A box price without net weight makes meaningful comparisons difficult. A foodservice customer may value smaller packs, but should confirm availability before visiting rather than assume that every wholesaler offers them. Where several suppliers are involved, coordinating collection times can reduce waiting and protect the condition of the most perishable items.
No verified public current-price service specific to this complex was identified. Obtain a current quotation directly from the seller for a clearly defined lot. Published descriptions of the market contain differing annual-volume and hall-area figures. These have not been blended into a single indicator because their dates and coverage are insufficiently comparable. The directory instead retains the clearly attributed Mercasa site and business figures.
A supplier should distinguish delivery to a resident wholesaler from operating an independent selling space. The first needs an accepted commercial order; the second requires separate arrangements with the administration. Recurring business benefits from a written delivery timetable, order cut-off, unloading responsibilities and pallet-accounting procedure. Mercasa lists the general contact telephone as +34 942 330 400. Check local trading hours and holiday closures before travelling, and allow time for receipt and quality inspection. The price that matters to either party is the agreed value of the accepted goods after the relevant handling and transport costs.
