Default Costa Market traders

We are shortly moving over to the Malaga area, whilst we are market traders in the UK, we would like any feed back on setting up a similar business in the area.
Though we have regular pitches now, initially we had to arrive as casual traders and await the chance to be given a pitch, is it like this on the Spanish markets?
Any info would be gratefully recieved..
Regards

Glenn

You would struggle to get pitches as they are swamped and lots are on a rotor system.
You would also struggle to compete pricewise, unless you had an extra cheap Chinese supplier.

Chinese supplier.
A rotor system?That sounds positively dangerous!

Hi Missbad,
Thanks for the welcome, however I have been a member for some years now, having my lap top stolen last year knocked me off for a while,then forgetting my log detail meant I had to rejoin last year.
We are awaiting completion of our build in the compo(Sierra Nevada) near the village of Sayalonga.
Our finances are the major factor in the hold up of the build, though the builder has been very understanding.
Nice to make contact with you.
Kind regards

Glenn

Hi

How long do you think you have to wait until it has finished? I bet you are looking forward to your move?x

Sayalonga, interesting. We live a couple of Kms north of Sayalonga having moved here 3 months ago.

There are plenty of markets in the area, although our interest is buying rather than selling so can't help with information on obtaining a stall. However a warm welcome to the area and I hope you'll love it as much as we are.

You might be right, but I don't know enough to argue differently. Just gave a link to a relevant thread, but as with all threads, don't take everything you read as gospel! Not everything onthe net is true!

Our local market is in a small village, the traders there are charged per sq.metre, generally a waiting list and if there are already several stalls with the same product not all will be accepted.
