What you'll find at Conil Street Market

The roughly 30 stalls cover four trades: clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, handicrafts and jewellery. This is a general street market rather than a food one, so come for a dress, a pair of shoes, a leather bag or a piece of handmade jewellery rather than the week's fruit and veg. Everything trades outdoors, and the stalls pack away at 2pm.
