New Jalón/Xaló Bridge Opens Just in Time for Saturday Morning Rastro

Old Jalón/Xaló Bridge

 Jalón opens its new, wider and two-directional bridge just a day before the Saturday Jalón Rastro sets up. Good timing!

Widening of Jalón Bridge

The bridge has been closed for a couple of months and all drivers have had to take a different route bumping over the river's cobblestones further down the course. This detour was also one-directional like the previous bridge creating delays, traffic and pedestrian problems.

Blue-domed Jalón Church

The bridge has gained an extra 10 metres in width, allowing for a double carriageway, plus pavements for pedestrians.

Jalón's Famous Saturday Rastro

The closure affected the rastro as parking and access became increasingly difficult. But where some lose others profit as the Riu Rau Restaurant (directly on the detour) had an increase in clientele.

The Saturday rastro will be in full swing on the morning of Saturday 25th April with many stallholders and dealers pitching under the bridge, while traffic flows non-stop and pedestrians walk, without having to take their lives in their hands, over the bridge.

  

When It's Wet Out There, We Can Carry On!

Wet and raining! Were you looking forward to your local rastro and browsing second-hand and antique articles? You need look no further.... 

Head towards El Vergel in the north of the Alicante province (just a few minutes past Denia), where an antiques emporium warehouse is open every day from 8 till late. The warehouse is filling up with antiques, clocks, art, paintings, old and quirky items, tools, sewing machines, tables, lamps, furniture, rugs, statues, ceramics, porcelain, antique books, botijos, collector's pieces, boxes, vintage clothes, bags, toys and trains, to name but a few things.

There is space for over 160 pitches. If you want to set up a regular pitch or need a one-off day or weekend stall in order to sell unwanted items and furniture, this venue doesnt have to worry about the weather turning wet or very windy. This indoor, roofed market opens come rain or shine.

  

   

There are watchmakers and jewellry makers on site every day. They are available for valuing, repairs and any other questions you may have about your antique clocks, jewellry and other items.

How to get there: The warehouse is in the industrial estate north of the town of El Vergel / El Verger. The address is: Avenida Valencia, the venue is next door to The Tack Shop/Tienda Hipica and just a few yards from Bar - Restaurante Casa Colom. Look for the sign SuperTienda.

It is easy to come off the N332 into El Vergel's north entrance (El Vergel/Pego exit and take immediate right towards Vergel). The shop is a few minutes from there. The nearest A7 motorway exit is Denia/Ondara and then take the N332 towards Valencia.
