Views of Oliva Market and part of Area information on Gandia, Oliva, Xativa, Altea, Jalon, Barx, La Drova, Bocairent and the quieter beaches of the Costa del Azahar, Spain


	Whilst the area has many supermarkets you just can't beat a Spanish street market (or 'Mercadillo') and the nearby town of Oliva offers the largest market in the immediate area. The trees are bare in the shots to the right but offer a leafy arcade of dappled shade. Return to main site Xativa Page


	You're self-catering and so you'll need to go shopping from time to time. During the Summer Oliva Market has stalls that sell those little souvenirs for when you return home. The price of food is often very reasonable. There are specialist stalls that sell all kinds of things like herbs, garlic, eggs, mushrooms and olives (do try the olives). You can also by shoes, leather goods, clothing and various trinkets. Away from the food stalls never accept the first price you are quoted ...haggle! Return to main site Xativa Page
