Street markets in Alcoy
You can browse the full listings on the street markets in this city page. The Alcoy Sunday Market in the Barrio Batoy neighbourhood is the most centrally known of the four, running every Sunday with stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and clothing. The Barrio Batoy location makes it accessible from the older residential areas of the city, and the full product range means it can serve as a main weekly shop.
The Alcoy Weekly Market in the North Zone operates on a separate day and carries the same broad product mix: fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and clothing. Its location in the north of the city serves residents who might not travel to Barrio Batoy.
Muro de Alcoy hosts two markets in its own right. The Muro de Alcoy Weekly Market is a food-focused affair with fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese and dairy, and meat and poultry. The Muro de Alcoy Flea Market runs on a different day and specialises in clothing and second-hand goods, making it the place to go for non-food browsing in the area.
Planning your visit
Stall counts are not officially published for any of the four markets, so it is worth arriving reasonably early to get the best of the fresh produce. For official local information, the Ajuntament d'Alcoi publishes event and market updates on its municipal website. If you are combining visits, the nearby markets in Cocentaina and Muro de Alcoy run on different days, making it straightforward to plan a multi-market trip across the comarca.
