The city’s pulse can be felt in its neighborhoods, in its time-honored bars, and in its markets and flea markets. The same goes for the towns, which make for perfect getaways to explore their heritage—and to browse their flea markets and street markets. And Écija’s is possibly one of the most popular and massive in the province of Seville—a flea market held on Thursdays that brings together more than 150 stalls.
Famous for the high temperatures it experiences during the summer, Écija is much more than just a sunny town. Dozens of dazzlingpalaces and churches, a Holy Week celebration that rivals those of major cities, and even some culinary delights. Added to all this is a lively town atmosphere that begins in the heart of the town: El Salón, its Plaza de España.
To experience its Thursday market, you’ll need to head to Avenida de la Alcarrachela, near the fairgrounds, where dozens of street vendors set up shop every week.
Food ranging from nuts and pickles to fresh vegetables and top-brand snacks; all kinds of fashion to update your wardrobe or find a pair of sandals for special occasions without breaking the bank.
Flea markets make it possible to find just about any item at a bargain price, and this one even includes furniture, home decor, and even cell phones and related accessories.
You can stop by this market any Thursday—except on holidays—from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
