Babel Market Alicante

About Babel Market Alicante

Babel Market opens at 7am Monday through Saturday in Alicante's Babel district on Calle Asilo. The municipal market closes at 2pm weekdays and 3pm on Saturdays, though individual shops can stay open until 8pm.

This indoor market has operated since 1982 across 3,482 square meters with 52 commercial units. You'll find fresh produce, seafood, meats, cheese, bread, and prepared foods from local vendors.

The market becomes Alicante's second largest on Thursdays and Saturdays when a street market adds around 300 outdoor stalls. These street vendors sell fresh fruits and vegetables alongside clothing, household goods, and accessories.

Visitors report the best selection arrives before 10am, especially for seafood and produce. Several bars within the market serve coffee and light meals if you need a break while shopping.

Parking is available on site but fills up quickly on street market days. Arriving early gives you better parking options and fresher selection from vendors.

How to Get There

The market sits on Calle Asilo in the Babel neighborhood, accessible by local bus routes. During Thursday and Saturday street markets, the outdoor stalls extend along Pardo Gimeno and Guillén de Castro streets.

Free parking is available but limited, especially on market days. Consider arriving before 8am on Thursdays and Saturdays to secure a parking spot.
