Markets in Algeciras
2 markets tracked in Algeciras.
The Algeciras market scene is built around two outdoor street markets, both trading on Tuesday and both free to browse. The larger of the two, Algeciras Street Market, brings together 40 stalls selling clothing, footwear, jewellery, fresh fruit and vegetables. The smaller Algeciras Geek Christmas Market focuses on handicrafts, jewellery and books. Usual trading hours run from 11am to 10pm, which makes both of them an evening outing as much as a morning one. Neither operates from a fixed municipal building, so both are weather-dependent outdoor affairs typical of the Cádiz province.
