This huge arcade of new shops selling old things is set on the same street as the Rastro and has an equally varied choice of antiques and knick-knacks. It's all a bit neater and tidier and for some lacks the full-blooded exhilaration of the gritty street market itself. It's certainly worth a look, however, as the locales total up to 70 and you're bound to find something you like. Gallery opens Monday to Friday 10:30am to 2pm and 5 to 8pm; Saturday and Sunday 10:30am to 2pm. Times vary from shop to shop, so check www.dai.es/piquer.
