Jueves
Market

Every Thursday, the central thoroughfare of the Feria barrio (unsurprisingly called Calle Feria) comes alive with Seville’s largest and most colourful flea market. This hoarder’s paradise – the stalls of which are manned by characteristically loud and cheeky Andalusian vendors – has been a staple of the city’s street life for as far back as many locals can remember and is a great place to spend a Thursday morning (Jueves in Spanish, hence the market’s name), even if you don’t end up buying anything. Any attempt to describe Jueves’ offering is bound to fail, but to give you an idea: you can buy antiques, flamenco dresses, books, ornaments, paintings, toys, sculptures, plants, sewing machines, old barbers’ chairs, birdcages…. In fact, you can buy anything here – although in a very different way than you’re said to be able to buy anything at Harrods.
