Almeria, Andalusia
Garrucha market runs twice a week, giving visitors two distinct chances to browse outdoor stalls in this small fishing town on the Almería coast. Both markets are street markets held outdoors, with a combined 50 stalls between them covering everything from clothing and footwear to handicrafts and jewellery.
