About
- The Monday one at Las Albarizas is the big one: about 360 stalls of fruit, spices, olives, plants, clothes, home textiles and ceramics
- Saturday in Nueva Andalucía: fashion, bags, crafts, Moroccan ceramics and antiques at the back
- San Pedro (Thursday): more than 250 stalls; Las Chapas (Friday): among pines
Good to know
- Arrive before 10:00: quieter and better produce
- Bring cash and small notes; you can haggle at the Saturday one
- Beware of fake designer goods
- At the Nueva Andalucía one the ground is sloping and uneven: tricky with a pushchair or wheelchair
