Adventures to the markets..

One thing I have always loved about going on holidays was visiting the markets and buying little treasures or gems that I came across. So as my second adventure in Spain I headed to the market in Torreveija and the Zucia market near Cartenga.
 

 

The markets have everything you could ever want from fresh fruit and vegetables grown locally by farmers to nicknacks for friends and family. But one of my favourite things about markets is the hustle and bustle of the hordes of people, there is a strange sense of community between the venders and visitors that you can sometimes miss out on.

 

But also one of my favourite thing about the markets is that they are in central locations or they are pretty near good local bars and restaurants, there are the traditional Spanish bars and restaurants which can be a bit intimidating because of the language barrier but once you grasp a few key words of Spanish you can order your food with ease, or there are English bar/restaurants that serve traditional breakfasts and dinners either way you are spoilt for choice.

 

For me markets are one way to find amazing deals but they are also a insight into the  support of a community for local farmers and venders. This is why markets hold a special place in my heart.
