Local markets
Spanish towns host a weekly market with multiple stalls selling fruit and veg, clothes, bags, shoes, bric-a-brac and household goods. Generally speaking, the same vendors go to the same markets, so once you've been to one, you might have seen them all! They operate from 10am to 2pm. Some places, such as Arroyo de la Miel, are over 30 minutes away by car so check before leaving.
