Market days in Alcañiz
Tuesday is the busiest day, and it is when the biggest of the three sets up. Thursday and Sunday carry one market each, so the town has something trading on three days and nothing on Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. All three have a confirmed trading day, so there is no guesswork about which morning to come. Hours are consistent at 9am to 2pm, with stalls fullest in the first couple of hours and traders packing up before the close.
Street markets in Alcañiz
All three of the town's markets are street markets, and they are not variations on the same thing. The largest is the 25-stall Alcañiz Market, a general mercadillo where clothing, footwear, handicrafts and books fill most of the pitches and cash is the standard way to pay. Alongside it the town supports a producer-led agroecological market for organic vegetables, fruit, cheese and herbs grown in the Bajo Aragón area, and a charity flea market of second-hand clothing and books.
Stall counts, locations and dates for each are on the street markets in this city page. For official visitor information, the Alcañiz tourism office has details on market locations and town access.
