We popped in here as they were starting to pack up for the day, it’s a relatively small market so less competition means the prices are a little more than the bigger markets like Jerez. Lots of vegetable and fruit sellers, fishmongers, herbs and spices and cheeses. Lots of local specialities here; Payoyo cheese, tuna, adobe seasoning etc. It’s well worth a look around even if you don’t buy anything. We especially like the staff here, I dropped my purse here which had a fair amount of money in it as well as my car parking ticket, when I went to buy something at another stall I suddenly realised I no longer had it so started frantically retracing my steps and searching for it. As I was doing this 2 women on one of the stalls beckoned me over and asked me if I had lost something, then they gave me my purse back which they had found on the ground. These women were so honest, they could have quite easily have kept my purse and I would have been non the wiser but they flagged me over to return it to me when they saw me searching, it really restored my faith in people, what amazing women.

9. Centro de interpretacion del vino y la sal

Pleasantly surprised to find this modern wine and salt museum free. Disappointed ton find all the signage inside was in Spanish but as I was going around I kept seeing numbers on the wall next to exhibits so I went back to reception to ask what this was. Then she tells me that there are audio guides in different languages available if I would like one?! I don’t understand why she didn’t immediately give us these when we arrived, as they really enable you to fully understand the exhibits. We only had about an hour to look around here so concentrated on the salt section which was fascinating. We will definitely come back again and do the wine section. They also have a little shop here too selling wine and salt so we bought some local sea salt here too.
10. Hammam Sancti Petri
