What you'll find at Sant Carles de la Ràpita Saturday Market

Fresh fruit and vegetables run through the market, alongside cheese and dairy stalls and prepared foods to carry away. Cut flowers and potted plants take up a further stretch.

Clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods and jewellery account for much of the rest, which is what fills 120 pitches rather than the two dozen a produce-only market needs. Everything trades in the open air, with no indoor hall to shelter in.
