Markets in Alhama de Murcia

Markets in Alhama de Murcia centre around the town's covered municipal market on Avenida Juan Carlos I. Known locally as the Plaza de Abastos, the building dates back to 1928 and was designed by modernist architect Pedro Cerdán. It still retains much of its original character.

Inside you'll find around 25 stalls selling fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, and bakery goods. The market is open six days a week, Monday to Saturday, from 08:30 in the morning. It's a good place to pick up ingredients from the Guadalentín Valley, the fertile agricultural area surrounding the town.

Alhama de Murcia sits between Murcia city and the coast, making it a practical stop if you're exploring markets across the Murcia region. For more details on local attractions and events, check the Alhama de Murcia tourism office.
