Markets on the Costa Cálida
On the Costa Cálida, markets are steeped in authenticity. In Cartagena, the air is filled with Mediterranean scents of spices and cheeses, while in Mazarrón and Águilas the stalls line the bustling streets. Los Alcázares is also famous for its lively market days where you’ll find both local produce and souvenirs.
Here it feels less touristy and more truly Spanish. You might come for a bag of olives but leave with a basket full of treats and a story to tell back home. Grocery shopping suddenly turns into a mini-adventure. 🌞
