Another Bazaar?

Wondered if anyone knew what the new big building near Mercadona at Atalaya Park is going to be. I have heard rumours its going to be (yet another) Chinese Bazaar?

Yes, the sign has gone up and it is ANOTHER chinese bazaar....gonna feel like we are in China soon and not Spain with the number of bazaars and woks popping up everywhere....

Hi - for those who feel so strongly about so many bazzars (including me) maybe its time to get political and badger the "powers that be" so as to insist upon a variety of retail outlets, but then again im not sure how spanish law works in terms of this, so maybe its a case of so long as you can afford the rent you can sell whatever you like ? Dont get me wrong I think the Bazzars are very useful and do serve a purpose, but its getting absolutley ridiculous now !

From what I understand there are ´tax breaks´ offered to the chinese people who open woks or bazaars? Maybe this is why there are so many! But I agree WHY do we need another one - most of the stuff you buy there doesnt last long although you can find pretty much everything you need! They are becoming a blot on the landscape now though especially when they are SO big - I feel sorry for the residents of Atalaya Park having to now look out at that monstrosity - at least Mercadona was built slightly to the side of the plot of land!

The sign that has gone up on the big building now says Merca Benijofar - I did see something in one of the papers a while ago advertising for stallholders for a new indoor market in Benijofar. Perhaps it is not a bazaar after all but maybe an indoor market?

Well I for one would prefer it to be the indoor market than yet another bazaar....

It looked like a bazaar to me when we drove past today ! Lots of boxes being unpacked with the usual stuff that they sell....
