Municipal Markets in Valencian Community

The Valencian Community has a rich network of municipal markets that reflect its agricultural heritage and Mediterranean character.

In Valencia, the Central Market stands as one of Europe’s largest and most beautiful food halls, where local traders sell fruit, seafood and spices beneath stained-glass domes.

Alicante’s Mercado Central and Castellón’s Mercado Central share a similar spirit, combining tradition with renewed facilities and a growing gastronomic presence.

Across towns such as Elche, Gandía and Ontinyent, these covered markets continue to serve as social and commercial centres. They represent a regional culture that values proximity, freshness and the daily habit of shopping from trusted stallholders.
