El Patio de los Corotos: great garage sale [ENG/ESP]
Hello to everyone in the Market Friday community! Today I bring you a new special article dedicated to Market Fridays. It's called the Patio de los Corotos. It is therefore my second visit to the annual garage sale that takes place in Valencia. This time it was located in the center of Valencia, in Plaza Bolivar, a very busy place that is perfect for this large event. So join me on this tour. Thanks to @dswigle
The event took place in the festival that was held a few weeks ago in Valencia, called Expo Valencia, in the same was the Patio de los Corotos, who had their participation in this event. Taking advantage also that this organization of vendors has been active since the month of October and is expected until the end of December. The first visit was in the old Exito Mall. This as part of the promise to extend the time of the event by the organizers.
¡Hola a todos en la comunidad de Market Friday! El día de hoy les traigo un nuevo artículo especial dedicado a los viernes de mercado. Se llama el Patio de los Corotos. Se trata pues de mi segunda visita a la venta de garage anual que se realiza en Valencia. En esta oportunidad se situó en el centro de Valencia, en la Plaza Bolívar, un lugar muy concurrido y que queda perfecto para este evento de gran tamaño. Así que acompáñame en este recorrido. Gracias a @dswigle
El evento tuvo lugar en el festival que se realizó hace algunas semanas en Valencia, llamado Expo Valencia, en el mismo se encontraba el Patio de los Corotos, quienes contaban con su participación en este evento. Aprovechando también que esta organización de vendedores ha estado activo desde el mes de octubre y se espera que hasta finales del mes de diciembre. La primera visita fue en el antiguo Centro Comercial Éxito. Esto como parte de la promesa de extender el tiempo del evento por parte de los organizadores.
We visited them at about four o'clock in the afternoon. At that time there was a huge crowd and I was trying to make a space to better appreciate each stand. Among the stores that caught my attention, there was one that had women's clothing in very good condition and at a good price. But unfortunately I did not find things in my size since the owner of the clothes was a young woman with a small size and I am much bigger. However, I was able to get some blouses for everyday wear that are really useful for me at another stall.
Further on we got a very interesting stall as the owners are artists who are into glass figurine printing. The themes in general were about anime characters. We also found some Funko Pop, stuffed animals, cosplay costumes and shirts with quite particular designs. I could not get at the moment any number or account to be able to follow them and leave here their Instagram account. It was all very fast.
Los visitamos a eso de las cuatro de la tarde. Momento en el que se hallaba una enorme multitud y trataba de hacer un espacio para poder apreciar mejor cada puesto. Dentro de los locales que me llamaron la atención, estaba uno que tenía ropa femenina en muy buen estado y a buen precio. Pero lamentablemente no encontré cosas de mi tamaño puesto que la dueña de las prendas era una joven de talle pequeño y yo soy mucho más grande. Sin embargo pude conseguir en otro puesto algunas blusas para el día a día que me son realmente útiles.
Más adelante conseguimos un puesto bastante interesante pues los dueños son artistas que se a la impresión de figuras en vidrio. Los temas en generales eran sobre personajes de anime. También encontramos algunos Funko Pop, peluches, trajes para cosplay y camisas con diseños bastante particulares. No pude conseguir al momento algún número o cuenta para poder seguirlos y dejarles por aquí su cuenta de Instagram. Fue todo muy rápido.
As expected, most of the garage booths already had the adorable Christmas decorations out. I am a Christmas lover myself but have yet to get ornaments of my own to fill my house with some of them. I have been in search of a Christmas tree that is small and useful for my home since I have limited space. I loved these pine trees you see in the picture, they seemed to be handmade and the truth is they were just as I was looking for but my husband didn't like them too much. So we ruled it out.
On the walk, my husband met a friend who was accompanying his family during the sale. They were selling women's clothing and some household items. They also had two guitars that caught my husband's attention (he plays guitar). But we had no plan to buy an instrument, although the price was very good, the acoustic guitar was around 50$ and the electric guitar 60$. I didn't take pictures of this moment because I completely forgot about it.
Finally my friends, we spent about an hour and some more between finding something for me and getting to know each stall. As I said in a previous opportunity, garage sales are great to pass the time, get discontinued and valuable items, as well as give them a new chance and depending on your search, find affordable and good prices. Without further ado, I hope you enjoyed this tour. If you are interested in knowing about the Patio de los Corotos I will leave here its Instagram in case you are in Valencia and want to take a look: @elpatiodeloscorotos. The next event will be on December 4th. I send you a big hug, thank you very much for stopping by and see you next time.
Cómo era de esperarse, en la mayoría de los puestos de garage habían ya quienes sacaron los tan adorables adornos de Navidad. Yo soy una amante de la Navidad pero todavía no he conseguido adornos propios para llenar mi casa con algunos de ellos. He estado en búsqueda de un arbolito de navidad que sea pequeño y útil para mi casa ya que tengo un espacio limitado. Me encantaron estos pinos que ven en la fotografía, parecían ser hechos a mano y la verdad es que estaban justo como buscaba pero a mí esposo no le gustaron demasiado. Así que lo descartamos.
Dentro del paseo, mi esposo se encontró con un amigo que estaba acompañando a su familia durante la venta. Ellos estaban vendiendo ropa femenina y algunos objetos para el hogar. También tenían dos guitarras que llamaron la atención de mi esposo (el toca la guitarra). Pero no teníamos plan de comprar un instrumento, aunque el precio estaba muy bueno, la acústica la dejaba en unos 50$ y la guitarra electrica 60$. De este momento no hice fotos porque lo olvide por completo.
Finalmente amigos míos, pasamos alrededor de una hora y algo más entre lo que encontraba algo para mi y lo que iba conociendo cada puesto. Cómo dije en una oportunidad anterior, las ventas de garage son geniales para pasar el tiempo, conseguir objetos descontinuados y valiosos, así como darle una nueva oportunidad a los mismos y dependiendo de tu búsqueda, encontrar precios accesibles y buenos. Sin más que decir, espero que les haya gustado este recorrido. Si están interesados en saber sobre el Patio de los Corotos les dejaré por aquí su Instagram por si están en Valencia y quieren ir a darle un vistazo: @elpatiodeloscorotos. El próximo evento será el 4 de Diciembre. Les envío un fuerte abrazo, muchísimas gracias por pasar y nos vemos en la próxima oportunidad.

Buenas. Su post ha sido propuesto para ser votado a lo largo del día por el witness @cervantes. Un saludo
Esas ferias son maravillosas, porque se consigue de todo y a buenos precios la mayoría de las veces.
Lo bueno es saber de antemano cuando serán para ir reuniendo y poder comprar varias cositas en un solo viaje
Totalmente jejeje una gran parte de mis cosas pertenecen a esas compras. Y cierto, es ideal ir con un buen presupuesto y tener en mente lo que se quiere. Muchas gracias por pasar por aquí 🙌💜✨

How fun! I love garage sales like this where you can spend hours going through all sorts of things. I like when I find a surprise! It is too bad about the guitars, but, probably a good call. We should only buy what we need. :) (sometimes, yes?)
Have you found a Christmas tree yet? They make skinny pencil trees for people that have small spaces. I have one in my entryway and it fits perfectly! I am glad you found a couple of shirts. I love giving things a second life!
Thanks for being part of #MarketFriday!
I enjoy learning about the world and how it is to live in your corner of it, and if there are solutions to making it better in any way. I find it interesting to compare, not by the world's standards, but, by how we find the quality of our life with different indicators than the world does. It is not always about the wealth in money, sometimes money means very little when there is no value behind it. You cannot buy health although you can take care of what you have. Being educated isn't always about schooling, but acquiring knowledge and using it for the better good and happiness of the society you are living in. It is with great pleasure that I read through this and all of the posts, with these thoughts in mind.
Don't miss the small things in your life, they usually make no noise but can be indicators of bigger things. I enjoy learning more about you and hope you feel the same, that is why I find it important to take the time to read a couple of #MarketFriday posts and leave a genuine comment. It is important for a community to do this, learning about others, and getting to know each other. The fun is in getting to know people and making a positive contribution to community life. All this fun and money too. What is not to love? That is one of the reasons I joined Hive. How about you? :) I leave you with the guidelines. I hope you are having an amazing week!
