Spain's weekly markets — the mercadillos — are part of the rhythm of coastal life. Each town has its day, when a street or car park fills with stalls selling everything from leather and linen to local fruit, olives, cheese and the morning's catch. They're brilliant for a wander, a bargain and a sense of how a place really lives. Alongside them are artisan craft fairs and indoor food markets worth seeking out. Here's where and when to find them while you're here.
