What you'll find at Caleta de Vélez Saturday Market

Fresh fruit and vegetables come from local growers and change with the season. Clothing, textiles, footwear and leather goods fill a good part of the 130 stalls, which is what makes this a weekly shopping trip for people living along the coast rather than a browse for visitors.

There are handicraft stalls too, and flowers and potted plants. Everything is in the open air along the avenue with no roof over it, so by midday in summer the produce end of the market thins out first.
