It was an early start on Saturday.  We popped to Santa Pola market with Dawn, to have a mooch around.  I have been to  Gran Alacant market, but never the one in Santa Pola.  It was mighty impressive, I have to say. The strangest thing for me, was the stall selling real fur, coats and stoles. You just would not get that kind of thing, in the UK, Britain would never allow it.  The stall was packed; Dawn bought a leather waistcoat. 

Prices at the market were fantastic.  I bought a very large Paella pan for 11,50€, which was cheap as chips.  On one stall they were selling leather jackets for 10,00€, and all the clothes on sale, were at bargain prices. As the season progresses here in Spain, so to the market,  will get bigger and bigger; there were only a small proportion of stalls, in comparison yesterday.  I look forward to returning when it is busier, in the summer months!

Before we left, we had something to eat in a Spanish cafe.  A cheese burger for 3,00€, a lot cheaper than the food on offer, in the tourist areas. If you want value for money, always eat in Spanish places. Santa Pola market is definitely, one of the best I have been to in Spain.  If you get the chance, pay it a visit, next time you are there!
