They got there first
Tradition has it that in 1905, when the railways were built, the old village market was not taken into account, so they crossed it halfway through. The tenants refused to change where they had been selling their products for years, so they simply adapted to their new circumstances.
They pick up their products as the train passes by
The vendors set up their stalls on the sides of the tracks, and each time the train passes they have to remove the awnings for about five minutes; Then they put everything back together.
Everything is very tidy
The train crosses the market eight times a day, and throughout its history there has never been a single accident. Every time they hear the sound of the machine, they alert tourists to get off the tracks.
