Where to stay in Ecija
Écija is a compact city, so staying central puts you close to everything. The area around the Plaza de España is your best bet, with easy walking access to the main market sites. City Centre gives you plenty of accommodation options at different price points.
If you want something with a bit more character, look for a small hotel or guesthouse along the old town streets. Casco Antiguo keeps you right in the heart of things, and you can walk to the markets without needing a car.
Tours & Activities in Ecija
Street markets in Écija
The Écija Street Market is the larger of the two, with around 40 stalls set up along Avenida de la Alcarrachela every Thursday morning from 8:00 until early afternoon. The stalls are fully outdoors and the market is wheelchair accessible and pet friendly. Most vendors operate cash only, so small notes and coins are worth having on hand. For local events and visitor information, the Écija tourism office is a useful resource.
The Écija Night Market is a second weekly street market running outdoors, though stall counts have not been confirmed. It offers a different atmosphere from the Thursday daytime event and is worth checking if you are in town for the evening.
If you are planning a broader market tour across the area, Carmona and Palma del Río are both within easy driving distance and hold their own regular markets.
