Something to do on a Saturday

If you're one of those people who like nothing better than to spend a sultry Saturday  casting your eye over other people's cast-offs with only the slightest of intentions of actually buying anything then Jalon (Xaló on some maps) is a must. Such a venue is called a "Rastro" in Spain ...sounds better than a 'Boot Sale' doesn't it?

If you have a taste for wine then make sure your visit to Jalón (Xaló on some maps and road signs) is in the morning as Jalon is noted for its bodegas and they are all shut during the Siesta! Most notable (and popular) of all the bodegas is the "Virgen Pobre" ...happily this is adjacent to the Rastro.

The bodegas offer wine at ridiculously low prices and the range they offer has something for most palates!
