Something to notice
Choose one stall to stop beside without blocking it. Notice a smell, a sound and a detail in the iron roof. Leave room for a small discovery.
A little consideration
Keep aisles clear, ask before photographing stallholders and check prices before ordering. The covered market is distinct from the Sunday street fair.
