The Sunday market in Pollença
Pollença is a small town in the north of the Balearic island of Mallorca. Pollença comes to life every Sunday when thousands of people come to shop at the market. Farmers showcase their freshest produce whilst artists sell their latest artworks. There’s something for everyone, making the market a popular place to spend a Sunday morning.
The market in downtown Amman
Amman, the capital of Jordan, doesn’t have the grand souks or bazaars such as those in Istanbul or Cairo. What Amman does have is a modest, colourful market selling a large variety of spices, fruits, tea, pickles, vegetables, nuts and poultry. I recommend a stroll around this market, just a stone’s throw away from the Al-Husyni Grand Mosque, to soak up the atmosphere and grab a bag of pistachios, tea (fresh camomile or hibiscus) or spices.
