Miguel and Eva had told us about the market that is held in downtown El Campello called "Mercadillo". It sounded really interesting so we drove there in the morning. We found our way there, got a decent parking place and walked over to the market. Wow, it was amazing. Stall after stall of fresh fruits and vegetables, a nice big stall of any and all kinds of olives and many stalls selling clothing and stuff like that. We bought ourselves some slippers and I got a blouse (sleeveless because I didn't pack much hot weather stuff and it's been quite warm) and then we went back to the food market and loaded up on fruits, vegetables and olives. We saw that everyone totes along a little suitcase type thing to carry all their purchases and we noticed when we got back home that there was one of those things in the garage so next week we're taking it! It will make it a whole lot easier to carry everything. I'll try to take some pictures of the market next week.
And I also learned today NOT to wash clothes on market day and not to start washing clothes after 1:30 because the washing machine takes at least an hour to do the clothes, if not longer. Since there is no dryer here the clothes have to be hung outside and if they're hung up after 3:00, chances are towels, jeans, socks and stuff like that will not have time to dry.
