BeniArte Craft Fair

BeniArte Craft Fair sets up every Sunday at Parque Cañada Marsá in Benijófar, an open-air artisan fair given over to handmade jewellery and crafts. It runs from 11am to 5pm, later in the day than most markets on this coast, and the stalls are worked by the people who made the pieces on them. Carry cash, since card acceptance varies from one stall to the next.

What you'll find at BeniArte Craft Fair

Handmade jewellery and handicrafts are the two things on sale, and there is no produce, clothing or household stall alongside them. That makes it a fair for picking out a single piece rather than filling a bag, and it is worth walking the whole park before buying, since materials and techniques differ from one maker to the next.

How to get to BeniArte Craft Fair

The fair sets up at Parque Cañada Marsá, Benijófar, 03178, in the south of Alicante province. For the village's other trading days, see street markets in Benijófar, and check the organiser's official page before travelling, since that is where changes to a Sunday date are posted.

Where to stay in Benijófar

Benijófar is a small village, so most visitors stay in nearby Rojales or along the Guardamar del Segura coast, both just a short drive away. Staying in Guardamar del Segura puts you close to the beach and gives you plenty of accommodation options at different price points.

If you'd prefer to be right in the area, Rojales town centre is a comfortable base with easy road access to Benijófar for the fair.

What day is BeniArte Craft Fair?

BeniArte Craft Fair runs every Sunday from 11am to 5pm at Parque Cañada Marsá in Benijófar. It is a weekly fair rather than a monthly one, and the same hours apply through the year. Sunday is the only day it sets up, so a weekday visit finds the park empty.

How do you pay at BeniArte Craft Fair?

Carry cash to BeniArte Craft Fair. Card acceptance is not confirmed here and varies from one maker to the next, since each stall is run by the artisan whose work is on it rather than by a shop with a fixed terminal. Assume cash for anything you want to take home.

Is BeniArte Craft Fair indoors or outdoors?

BeniArte Craft Fair is an outdoor market, set up in the open at Parque Cañada Marsá rather than inside a hall. There is no roof over the stalls, so it is worth checking the forecast before a winter Sunday. The 11am to 5pm hours cover the warmest part of the day.
