Algueña Weekly Market: Thursdays and Sundays

Algueña Weekly Market sets up on Plaza de España every Thursday and Sunday from 8am to 1pm, twice the trading days most villages this size get. It is the busiest of the markets in Algueña, and everything stands in the open air on the square.

What you'll find at Algueña Weekly Market

Fresh fruit and vegetables are the reason most people come, with stock turning over as the inland Alicante harvest moves through the year. Clothing and textile stalls take up the rest of the square, so the same morning covers the week's groceries and a new pair of work trousers. Card acceptance at open-air stalls varies from one trader to the next, so carry cash.

How to get to Algueña Weekly Market

Plaza de España sits in the centre of Algueña, a few minutes' walk end to end. See the other street markets in Algueña, or check dates on the official page.

Where to stay in Algueña

Algueña is a small village, so staying within walking distance of the square means Town Centre rooms and rural guesthouses. For a wider choice of places to stay and eat, Elda is a short drive away and still gets you to Plaza de España by 8am.

What day is Algueña Weekly Market?

Algueña Weekly Market runs twice a week, every Thursday and Sunday from 8am to 1pm on Plaza de España. Both days keep the same hours and the same stalls, so an early start gives you the fullest square, since traders start packing away well before the 1pm finish.

Where is Algueña Weekly Market?

Algueña Weekly Market sets up on Plaza de España, the central square of Algueña in inland Alicante province. The whole market is outdoors on the square itself, and the nearest towns with more parking and accommodation are Pinoso and Elda, both a short drive away.

Do I need cash at Algueña Weekly Market?

Yes, bring cash to Algueña Weekly Market. No card payment is recorded for its stalls, and acceptance at open-air markets varies from one trader to the next. Algueña is a small village, so draw money out in Pinoso or Elda beforehand rather than counting on a machine by the square.
