To many people, the Spanish street market is a major holiday
attraction. Apart from the atmosphere, it is true to say that they usually sell
better quality, and cheaper, fruit and vegetables than those things in the shops.
These markets also sell anything from carpets and clothing, to jewellery, watches,
and electrical products. On non-food purchases, don't hesitate to bargain; in
fact the stall holder will be quite surprised if you don't make an offer.
The markets open at 9 am, or earlier, and close at lunchtime. If the normal market day proves to be a fiesta then it will be changed to the day before or after.
Moraira Market - you will find it every Friday morning just behind the town beach. It is quite a small market, but still an enjoyable experience. Most sorts of fruit and vegetables are available, including dried fruits, nuts, herbs and spices - clothing and other household goods.
