Municipal markets in Albox
The Albox Municipal Market is the town's only indoor covered market, at Calle Andalucía 34, with around 20 stalls. It opens daily from 8:00 to 12:00 and stocks fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and bread and pastries, which makes it the one reliable option on a day when nothing is set up in the street. Opening details are on the municipal markets in this city page, and the Ayuntamiento de Albox publishes local information including market location details.
Street markets in Albox
Three of the four markets in Albox trade outdoors, and the two largest carry 260 stalls between them, well beyond anything the indoor mercado can hold. The biggest is the 160-stall weekly street market, weighted towards fresh fruit and vegetables on one side and clothing and footwear on the other. A second market of around 100 stalls deals almost entirely in antiques and second-hand goods, and pulls collectors and bargain hunters in from across the Almanzora valley.
The third is a much smaller specialist food fair, built around cheese and dairy, meat and poultry, bread, organic products, and spices and herbs rather than general goods. Days, stall counts and locations for each are listed on the street markets in this city page.
