Local Markets
There are centuries old traditional markets every day of the week somewhere in the region and beyond. They range from the huge Saturday market of Vera that spreads further and further through the town to the charming extremely friendly Sunday market of Villaricos
The Almanzora Valley is enfolded by an infinite vista of vivid mountain ranges; the golden Sierra Cabrera, the orange Filabres, the black Almagreras and beyond the purple Seguras and snow capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada itself. This is Spain before the age of package tourism. Space to breathe, open countryside, white pueblos dotting the hills, small fishing villages, busy little market towns and welcome stretches of quiet, clean beaches, none of them overcrowded. Inland, cutting through the desert plateau are rich fertile valleys where the warm winter sun ripens fruit and vegetables in abundance. The people of the Almanzora remain welcoming, good humoured and helpful to visitors. They earn their living.
