Tourist statistics say that after sunbathing on the beach, the second most popular activity for visitors is shopping. There is a continual growth on the Costa Blanca of shopping malls with international brand names prominent among the hundreds of shops that really offer everything under the sun!
Street markets are one of the main attractions for visitors and every day there is at least one large market near to wherever you are living. Bargain hunters will love the hustle and bustle of the local markets. The best buys are fruit and vegetables, leather goods, ceramics and lace. Don’t forget to barter - this is normal at markets in Spain, so you won’t be offending anyone, and it’s also great fun.
