Where to stay in Alcoi
Staying in the city centre puts you within easy walking distance of Alcoi's markets and the old town's narrow streets. Try Centre for a good range of hotels and guesthouses at reasonable prices, or look at Hotel Reconquista if you want a reliable, comfortable base right in the heart of things.
Alcoi is a compact city, so wherever you stay you won't be far from the action. Hotel Savoy is another solid option that keeps you close to the main squares and market areas without much fuss.
Tours & Activities in Alcoi
Municipal markets in Alcoi
Sant Mateu Market is the largest indoor market in the city, with around 25 stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. It runs weekly and is a reliable stop for fresh produce sourced from the valleys surrounding Alcoi.
Sant Roc Market matches Sant Mateu in size with another 25 stalls and a similar range of fresh food including fruit, vegetables, fish, and meat. Its early opening from 7am makes it a practical choice if you want to shop before the day gets started. Both markets are covered, so they run regardless of the weather.
Street markets in Alcoi
The Batoy Street Market is the largest outdoor market in the city, with 25 stalls spread across the Batoy neighbourhood. It runs weekly and focuses on clothing, handicrafts, footwear, and books rather than food, making it a good complement to the municipal halls if you're looking for general goods or something to browse.
Mercadillo Zona Norte fills the food gap that Batoy leaves, with stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and bread and pastries. Exact stall counts aren't confirmed, but it covers a broad enough range to function as a neighbourhood food market in its own right.
The Rastro Segundamano Muro de Alcoy focuses on antiques and second-hand goods, running weekly as an open-air market. Sant Roc Street Market rounds out the four street options with clothing and footwear stalls. If you're also exploring the area, the markets in Cocentaina and Ibi run on different days and can be paired with a visit to Alcoi. More general visitor information is available on the Alcoi tourism website.
