Village Market Tradition
In Córdoba's outlying district of Alcolea, Monday means market day.
30 stalls fill Calle Real and the town's Plaza de la Iglesia and Plaza del Ayuntamiento, transforming quiet village streets into an open-air bazaar.
This is less about shopping efficiency than about the rhythm of a small Andalusian community that still measures time by its market days.
History
Alcolea's market has been part of village identity for decades. In earlier times, farmers brought produce and livestock with donkeys and carts.
The market has evolved. Animals and handmade wares gave way to modern clothing and accessories, but the purpose remains: bringing people together.
