Besugo Market

The hours are the unusual part. This one only opens at 8pm and keeps going until 1am, every day of the week including Sunday, which makes it a straightforward plan for a warm evening in Chiclana once the shops in town have shut. It is an open-air market with no indoor hall, so an evening of rain closes the plan down.

Handicrafts and jewellery make up much of the market: handmade accessories, beads and leather, decorative pieces. The rest is clothing and textiles, from beach-weight shirts and dresses to scarves and bags. Nothing here is a food shop, so if you are after fruit, fish or cheese you want the municipal markets in Chiclana de la Frontera instead.

Staying in Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the market and the main shopping streets. For something with more of a coastal feel, La Barrosa is a popular choice, just a short drive from town.

If you prefer a hotel, Hotel Nuevo Mos is a reliable central option that keeps you close to everything without much fuss.

The address is Calle de la Zapatilla, 3, 11139 Chiclana de la Frontera. Arriving on foot or by taxi is easier than driving, since the market occupies the street itself and nearby kerb space fills up once the stalls are lit.
