Albatera Weekly Market

Albatera Weekly Market sets up in Plaza de España every Thursday and trades from 6am to 2pm. It is one of the markets in Albatera and is listed among the town's street markets, an outdoor weekly shop for residents rather than a tourist stop, mixing food stalls with clothing and footwear.

What you'll find at Albatera Weekly Market

Food fills most of the square: fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, and bread and bakery goods. The rest of the pitches sell clothing, textiles, footwear and leather. Carry cash, since card acceptance varies from one stall to the next, and come in the morning, because everything is packed away by 2pm.
