Street markets in Estación de Cártama
Cártama Station Street Market is the larger of the two, with around 40 stalls setting up each week outdoors. Shoppers come for clothing, footwear, handicrafts, and flowers and plants, and the market draws visitors from towns across the valley.
CártamaEco is the town's organic and craft market, running weekly as an outdoor street market. Stalls sell organic produce, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, bread and pastries, and cheese and dairy, making it a solid stop for local food. It is a good complement to the general street market if you are planning a day in the area.
