Municipal Markets in the Province of Valencia

Valencia Province has a rich network of municipal markets that combine architectural heritage with a deep-rooted culture of fresh produce.

In the capital, the Central Market is a landmark of Modernist design and one of Europe’s largest food halls, where traders offer seafood, fruit and spices beneath its glass domes.

Other neighbourhood markets, such as Ruzafa and El Grao, maintain the city’s daily rhythm of local shopping. Across the province, towns like Xàtiva, Ontinyent and Requena preserve their own covered markets, which remain vital meeting points for residents.

These markets embody the Valencian habit of buying close to home, valuing freshness, quality and personal contact.
