Market days in Alcoi
Wednesday is the busiest day in Alcoi, with five of the six markets trading, followed by Saturday with four. Thursday and Friday each have three, and Monday, Tuesday and Sunday two apiece, so there is somewhere to shop every day of the week.
Nearly all of it happens between 8am and 2pm, and stallholders start packing before the closing hour once the produce goes. For public holiday and fiesta closures, check the Alcoi tourism website. The markets in Cocentaina and Ibi run on other days and pair well with a stay here.
Municipal markets in Alcoi
The two indoor halls are where the city does its food shopping the rest of the week, and being covered they trade whatever the weather does in the valley. Sant Mateu Market is the larger of the pair at around 25 stalls, with fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy counters under one roof.
Sant Roc Market matches it for size and range, and opens early enough to shop before the working day starts. Stall-by-stall detail for both is on the municipal markets in this city page.
Street markets in Alcoi
The four outdoor markets divide neatly between general goods and food. Batoy Street Market is the biggest at 25 stalls, and leans towards clothing, footwear, handicrafts and books rather than produce. One of the others is the Rastro Segundamano, an antiques and second-hand market rather than a grocery stop.
The remaining two work as neighbourhood food markets, with fruit and vegetable, meat, cheese and bakery stalls. Days, addresses and stall counts are listed on the street markets in this city page.
