Are there any decent rastros nearby?

The Zocco Sunday market is just down the hill from La Finca en route to Quesada adjacent to the Motorway roundabout.
If you then go down the road towards Torrevieja and turn left at the roundabout for Rojales and Guadamar the Lemon Tree market is on the right a couple of miles down, just follow the cars. There's not much by way of signage. It is set back off the road down a track.

Thanks but am not really looking for markets. I am after rastros (used/second hand/antiques ) type of things.

Hi
There's something that I think of as a car boot sale on the n332 on Sunday mornings, not far north from the access road to Lemon Tree market. I don't know if it has a name.
Cheers

Gillyb,
If you don't mind a run up to Benidorm there is one every Sunday morning at Polop on the Industrial estate. It is picking up again after Covid. It's the biggest I know near here.
Go up through La Nucia, over all the numbered roundabouts and turn left at the last one and just follow the road for about 1km.

I think you might mean the one at Guadarmar which is on the left of the N332. Again, Sunday mornings.
It's about 2 or 3 km from the Lemon Tree turn (Rojales) towards Alicante.

Left? It depends which way you look at it!

I have lived here for almost 17 years but have never heard of a 'rastro' except to mean 'trace' or 'trail'.. What is it that you are looking for as there are a lot of trails?

I've heard of Rastro's I saw and heard about them on a TV programme about life in Spain, they sell "antiques" i use the word loosely, but good for a mooch about if it's your thing.
