If something characterizes this atmospheric open-air market it is the quantity of strange objects that you can find here. Everything you can imagine, from a worn-out pair of flamenco shoes to old dolls and used clothing, is available here. In addition to all this, the Alameda market also has old records, movie posters, inexpensive flowers and flower pots, all kinds of antiques, African crafts, Peruvian wool sweaters, fruit, vegetables and carnation bouquets. It is a spectacle every Sunday morning, and if the clock strikes 2p and the sun is beating down, you can always grab a beer in one of the many nearby bars.
