Recordist's notes
A fruit and vegetable street vendor with over 60 years of experience and his family tell us about their concerns and difficulties in continuing with the business, with a mixture of seriousness and irony. On Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., you can visit the Fontarrón market. It has 79 stalls selling a wide variety of products, including food, fruit, and vegetables, as well as gifts, jewelry, accessories, footwear, home textiles, and fashion items.
