Food & Dairy
Spanish term or phrase: Feria
Hola!
En Chile hay "ferias" ambulantes dos o tres veces a la semana por barrio, en donde la gente que vive en esos barrios puede ir a comprar frutas y verduras a muy bajo precio. Estos puestos de fruta se instalan en una calle autorizada por el municipio de cada ciudad y están desde temprano vendiendo, hasta como las 4 de la tarde. También, se puede comprar pescado fresco, peinetas, juguetes, revistas, ropa etc., pero lo grande de estas ferias son los puestos de frutas y verduras. Había pensado en Green market, pero no lo abarca todo, ¿Alguna sugerencia?

Muchas gracias.

street market


Explanation:
Some examples of street markets include Berwick Street Market, Broadway Market, Camden Market, East Street Market and Portobello Road Market. There are many markets in London just a few maentioned above but the most popular is Borough Market which sell most fresh produce as well as having a bakery.

Street markets in Greece are called laikes agores (λαϊκές αγορές) in plural, or λαϊκή αγορά (laiki agora) in singular, meaning "people's market". They are very common all over Greece, including the capital, Athens, and its suburbs. Regular (weekly) morning markets sell mostly fresh produce from farming cooperatives - fruit, vegetables, fish and flowers/plants. Some household items and prepared foods are often available.
