MESTALLA FLEA MARKET

MESTALLA FLEA MARKET

An opportunity to bathe in the experience of a local flea market in Valencia takes place nearly every Sunday just off Blasco Ibanez. Stands are squeezed into an open space under the shadow of the Mestalla soccer stadium. They offer everything from wonderfully unrecognisable and tacky objects to large pieces of furniture.

Naturally many dealers attempt to achieve the highest deal possible with foreigners, especially since the market is also frequented by tourists. Lovers of the hunt for bargains or quirky items can, however, often be successful.
