We went to Benidorm and Polop on Sunday to explore the “Car Boot Sales” which is a traditional used goods sale. We started off early and enjoyed the drive to Polop which is located not far from Benidorm in the  mountains.

The people buy a space for five euros and they lay out their items for sale. There are four or five streets full of people selling every type of item imaginable.

We walked along the main street looking at different items. They had some Spanish dolls for sale wearing the tradition Spanish dress.

Some of the items were interesting and others were very common and considered junk by some people.

They had areas set up for food and drinks. There was even a bar area for people to have a cold beer and a truck selling roasted chickens.

We walked around for about an hour looking at the displayed items.

We found it interesting but did not buy anything.

We then headed to Benidorm where each Sunday they have a large sale of antiques and other used items. There was a permanent pavilions set up where people would sell antiques or other collectables. We walked through the different rows of items checking it out.

We came across a vender who was selling millitary items. There were some very interesting items for sale, including WWII books, photos uniforms, etc.

We headed into the main enclosed pavilion and looked at the antiques. They had a large variety of antique furniture, paintings and other items which were quite interesting.

It was an enjoyable day and very interesting looking at items from the European culture.
