We popped in here as they were starting to pack up for the day, it’s a relatively small market so less competition means the prices are a little more than the bigger markets like Jerez. Lots of vegetable and fruit sellers, fishmongers, herbs and spices and cheeses. Lots of local specialities here; Payoyo cheese, tuna, adobe seasoning etc. It’s well worth a look around even if you don’t buy anything. We especially like the staff here, I dropped my purse here which had a fair amount of money in it as well as my car parking ticket, when I went to buy something at another stall I suddenly realised I no longer had it so started frantically retracing my steps and searching for it. As I was doing this 2 women on one of the stalls beckoned me over and asked me if I had lost something, then they gave me my purse back which they had found on the ground. These women were so honest, they could have quite easily have kept my purse and I would have been non the wiser but they flagged me over to return it to me when they saw me searching, it really restored my faith in people, what amazing women.
