What day of the week is this market usually held?? Would be a good opportunity to pick up some supplies for Rabanal and beyond. Cheers

@Saint Mike II good idea although I must say there were predomaninantly clothes and leatherware for sale. There is also a supermercado ( GADIS ) though .

@Saint Mike II Hope the lady from security ( at supermercado ) doesn't give you the evil eye like she did with me... I did not have my backpack with me so it must have been my face

@Saint Mike II Happy Easter to you and yours too. Actually I looked a bit scruffy and weary. Just came from pharmacy where I decided to end this particular Camino. So went to supermarket for some chocolate therapy

Not Tuesday, it's on Thursday. I know because I have planned 2 of my rest days for Estella on Thursdays. The main reason being that several restaurants feature suckling pig on the menu del dia on market day. My favorite is one on the second floor above the Florida Bar. Linen table clothes and some very imaginative starters and salads. Sabine's date stamp on the photo is also on a Thursday.
