15 Thieves Market This is a little open area where peddlers used to show their wares to shoppers whether they were obtained legally or illegally was not the issue. The issue was in the bargains and the bargaining. Lots of fun and less likely these days, that peddlers still cast a wary eye on the streets ~ scanning the area for those boys in uniform for they have all gone legitimate, or have they? Trading starts at around 5.00pm and goes on till light fails. Everyday except rainy days
