Aspe Weekly Market

Aspe Weekly Market sets up twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday, along Calle Doctor Fleming and around Parque Doctor Calatayud in Aspe, in Alicante province. Around 70 stalls trade from 8am to 2pm on both days, weighted towards clothing, textiles, footwear and leather. It is one of the markets in Aspe, listed with the town's other street markets.

What you'll find at Aspe Weekly Market

Two lines of stock dominate the 70 stalls: clothing and textiles, and footwear and leather goods. That means everyday shirts and trousers, seasonal stock brought in by the rail, and shoes, bags and belts, rather than the produce you would find at a food market. Traders who work the Alicante mercadillo circuit sell the same stock across several towns in a week, so the pitches you see on a Tuesday and a Thursday are largely the same ones.

The market is open-air, with no indoor hall behind it. Trading ends at 2pm and the pitches are cleared, so a late-morning arrival still gives you an hour or two.

How to get to Aspe Weekly Market

The pitches run along Calle Doctor Fleming and spread into Parque Doctor Calatayud, both in central Aspe, postcode 03680. Check the town hall's official page for closures around public holidays and fair week.

Do I need cash at Aspe Weekly Market?
