On Avenida Rambla de los Álamos, Motril comes alive every Tuesday and Friday with a market that smells of fresh fruit, freshly baked sweets and leather bags in the morning sun. Some ninety stalls stretch along the wide avenue, selling everything you need and don't need - but bring anyway.

You'll find tomatoes that still smell like plant, cheeses with spice, colorful dresses, slippers, mops, lipstick, sunglasses, and kitchen items you won't think of until you get home: handy. It is the market as markets are meant to be - loud, lively, and delightfully Spanish.

Whether you come for a kilo of oranges or just want to browse, Motril's market is a little discovery every week.
