What you'll find at Huércal-Overa Monday Market

Fresh food is the reason most people walk the rows. Stalls sell fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, and fish and seafood, and the Monday timing means the produce goes home for the week's cooking rather than for a weekend.

The rest of the 150 stalls run to clothing and textiles, and footwear and leather goods. Prices are set at the stall and there is no fixed shopfront to come back to, so if you see something you want on a Monday, that is the Monday to buy it.
