What is "plazmoilentesa"?
EDIT: Just found it! This is from the book La elefanta del mago:
Aquel día en la plaza del mercado, entre las paradas corrientes y molientes de los pescaderos..

Nice detective work. Be sure to read the thread on "pista". - 0074b507, Aug 18, 2011

Moliente y corriente -> (coll.) right, justly, exactly
otro
corriente y moliente loc. adj. col. Simple, normal:
es corriente y moliente, ni guapo ni feo.
Parada de 9 metros para mercadillo - Toledo
I would guess that the end of the sentence was "among the usual fishmonger's booths/stands", but I can't find plazmoilentesa in the R A E dictionary.
It wasn't plaza del mercado and "molientes" got cut and pasted into plaz....a was it?
