A weekly Sunday market for books, records, coins, stamps and minerals, moved from Plaza Nueva to the Arenal promenade.
The Sunday market in the Casco Viejo is a collectors' market selling second-hand books and records, minerals, fossils, old coins and stamps, and craft pieces. It was held for years on Plaza Nueva, but the city moved it to the Arenal promenade near the City Hall after the plaza was given over to bars and restaurants in 2021. Some listings still place it at Plaza Nueva, so check the location on the day. Listings give Sundays from 10:00 to 14:00, with some saying 09:00. Prices are negotiable on second-hand goods, and stalls prefer cash.
