Street markets

Street markets are very popular in Torrevieja and the surrounding villages.

The street market is an alternative to traditional commerce and in them you can obtain numerous objects for decoration, textiles, clothing, interior design, craft, animals, footwear and horticultural produce at very reasonable prices, which can sometimes be good buys.

The street markets have a real arab-style market atmosphere and have achieved great popularity amongst the Spanish and the thousands of Europeans that visit Torrevieja.

Some are held once a week and others are permanent. They are often held on seaside promenades.

Love these Spanish street markets MERCADILLOs but must ONLY be extra vigilant for pickpocketers as these abounds with these rougues.

I love combo veg I pick put in a one bag different kinds of the same price for a meager cost.

This low carbon footprint I sustain as fruits and veg originate locally helping with environmental sustainability I support.

May it prosper with NO bandidos picking up wallets in order to enjoy such tradition street selling.

I look forward to going except after a couple of bargaining, I get exhausted.
