Markets in the Province of Alicante

The province of Alicante combines the everyday energy of its street markets with the established tradition of its municipal halls.

Across coastal and inland towns, open-air markets are set up weekly in plazas, offering a wide range of goods, from fresh fruit and plants to clothing and crafts.

Alongside them, covered markets provide a daily focus for food shopping, where the aromas of fresh fish, olive oil, and local produce fill the aisles.

Alicante city’s Mercado Central remains a provincial landmark, while Elche, Denia, and Alcoy maintain active municipal markets of their own. Towns such as Torrevieja and Benidorm host some of the region’s busiest street markets, drawing regular crowds.

Together, these spaces illustrate the province’s Mediterranean character, where trade, food, and conversation naturally blend into the rhythm of everyday life.
