Post by: mike and judith on October 13, 2016, 00:21.: We're planning it this weekend, but some reservations following the police raids.
Don't get the chance very often as Sunday is a golf day, but hoping it is as I remember.
Used to rank No. 1. We'll see.

Post by: John H on October 13, 2016, 08:33.: In our humble opinion it's not as good as it used to be, the quality of products on offer seems to have dropped
We've been buying all our fruit and veg in Mercadona for quite a while now, all been very very good.

Post by: John H on October 15, 2016, 16:07.: The Saturday market at Almoradi is a good one, the trees in the town square are magnificent.
Great market if you want plants for the garden, some great specimins on sale today, really cheap.

Post by: Dougal on October 19, 2016, 13:52.: Agree market not as good as previous set up. Not the same atmosphere as before. It used to be within walking distance and now problems finding a parking space. Agree with comments about tat, but tat's life :)
