What sets it apart is its multicultural atmosphere: both vendors and visitors come from all over the world, creating a unique mix of accents, styles, and offerings. Walking through its aisles is an exercise in observation, haggling, and constant discovery, with items for all budgets. Furthermore, its proximity to the promenade and bars and restaurants makes the visit part of a complete leisure plan, perfect to combine with a swim at the beach or a traditional meal.
