keddyboy wrote: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!!!!!]
it seems we actually would of met then mr keddyboy ;) i was there, i had a stall...i´d just set up when i was told to pack up :(

the Los Naranjos one starts on the 14th. there used to be one there before, but it wasn´t very sucsessful. lets hope this one is better. i need a decent place to sell my stuff.

Spanish-lad you should try the Sabinillas car boot, the last time we were there, the weekend before Xmas weekend, the large car park was full of buyers and cars were queuing to get in, plenty of people on foot too. We were told that you need to get there early by 7am to get a pitch and no new goods are allowed on a car boot stall.

Yes. Past Estepona and before you get to Puerto Duquesa. Down the hill from Manilva. The Carboot/Market is on the Ferio Recital, well signposted.

Yes span, but the IT gear you are pushing is so old and outdated that it got an amnesty from Franco. You would be selling it as antiques. :wink: :lol:
