Antique markets in Benidorm

El Cisne Rastro is well known for its car boot like merchandise, but within the market is a large building housing the Antiguedades - Antiques.... which is also open weekdays - not only on "rastro" days.

The building covers several hundred sq. meters. Inside the areas are divided up and each dealer has his own speciality with different style antiques, military uniforms, porcelein,silver, heavy furniture etc.  The perimiter walls are covered with paintings of various sizes and periods. For the antique collector or connoisseur it is definitely a place to visit. Next door are several bars and caffes, where one can relax and gloat over any fine purchases.

Across the old N332 there is another antique shop. Here a house has been incorporated into the display area where lots of fine original artworks hang.There is no pressure selling  - the owner sits by the bar enjoing his drinks and talking to friends but is on-hand to answer any questions. 

Here are some antique hand made tiles which could be incorporated into a new floor to form a beautiful central display.
