Benijófar Street Market

Benijófar Street Market sets up every Tuesday from 8am to 2pm on the streets by the church in Benijófar, a small inland town in southern Alicante. In Spanish it is the Mercadillo de Benijófar; in Dutch, the Benijófar markt. Clothing, handicrafts, footwear and leather are what the stalls carry, and both cash and cards are taken.

What you'll find at Benijófar Street Market

Three categories cover the whole run: clothing and textiles, handicrafts, and footwear and leather goods. Textiles take up most of it, with craft stalls and racks of shoes, bags and belts filling out the rest. The pitch is wheelchair accessible and there is a children's play area alongside it, which makes it workable with a pushchair. For the other days of the week, see the street markets in Benijófar.
