Car boot sales
Where is the car boot sale in Alhaurin el Grande? I might just go along out of pure curiosity-one mans trash is another mans treasure.......
No boot fairs in or around Alhaurin El Grande. The one at the feria ground stopped months ago and the new one at Los Arcos on the Coin Cartama Road was stopped about 7 weeks ago. The lady who runs these did not have the necessary paperwork would you beleive. I overheard her speaking to some other expats at Los Arcos one day she was closed down and it appears she had the same problems in the UK when she tried to run them!!!!!!
There is rumour of a boot sale at Los Neranjas on the back road from Cartama to Churrana[ not run by the same person!!!!!]

Sunday mornings in Sabinillas on the Recinto Ferial (fairground) signposted right off the roundabout just before the underpass.phil_euro wrote:Are there any of these down the Estepona - Sabinillas end of the Costa?
It is a carboot/market mix about 50/50. If you are selling you need to get there very early to get a pitch.

Just try the Cudeca shop in Coin - run by Brits but used predominantly by Spanish. I would imagine that Charity Shops were introduced to the rest of the Western World by the Americans just like the Car Boot Sales that followed. It's not just the British who like a bargain you know!kevin77 wrote:Car boot sales! - do you guys really miss the English way of life that much?
Do many Spanish people go to these things? From my experience I would say that they are not really into the second hand market.
Cudeca is confined to the Malaga province, and looking at their website I see the founder and president is Mrs Joan Hunt C.B.E.(sounds as British as you can get!) So although it contributes to Spanish Cancer charities, I would say its of British origin originally.
But outside this area, I havent seen many charity/ secondhand type shops apart from Cash Converters in Madrid and Barcelona.
Apart from the traditional markets/ rastros it makes me think that car boots & charity shops are are something that the Brits have contributed to the region.
