Sunday flea market

Settings for mercadillos or rastros (as general/flea markets are referred to in Spanish) don’t come much better than Jerez’s Alameda Vieja. This tranquil park is situated in between two of the city’s most beautiful buildings – the 18th-century cathedral and the 11th-century Moorish fortress. Every Sunday, its central avenue comes to life with a mercadillo selling everything from antiques to clothing. After browsing the stands, head to the nearby Plaza del Arenal for tapas.
