Street Markets in Benijófar
Alicante, Valencian Community · 2 street markets
Street markets in Benijófar run twice a week, and the two are not alike. The Tuesday mercadillo sets up along the CV-920 as it passes through the village, trading from 8am to 2pm with clothing, footwear and handicraft stalls. On Sunday the BeniArte craft fair takes over Parque Cañada Marsá from 11am to 5pm, handmade pieces and jewellery rather than clothing rails. Those two are the whole street market week here.

What you'll find on the stalls
Between them the two markets cover clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, handicrafts and jewellery. The Tuesday mercadillo carries the everyday end of that and is small enough to walk in half an hour. BeniArte is the maker's market of the pair. For both market types see all markets in Benijófar, and the province page for the rest of Alicante.

Tips for visiting
Get to the Tuesday mercadillo before 10am for the fullest stalls, since the last half hour before its 2pm close is mostly loading. The site is wheelchair accessible and has a children's play area beside it. Stalls take cash and cards, though not every trader will, so carry notes. The Sunday craft fair keeps different hours entirely, 11am to 5pm, making it a lunchtime outing.
Where to stay in Benijófar
Benijófar is small, so the choice is staying in it or a few minutes outside. The town centre puts both markets within walking distance, which matters most for the 8am Tuesday start, when parking on the CV-920 is tightest. For the coast, Guardamar del Segura has far more rooms and good road links back for market mornings. A car is useful either way.
What day is the market in Benijófar?
Benijófar has street markets on two days, Tuesday and Sunday. The Benijófar Street Market runs every Tuesday from 8am to 2pm on the CV-920, and the BeniArte craft fair runs every Sunday from 11am to 5pm in Parque Cañada Marsá. Nothing trades on the other five days.
What time do street markets in Benijófar open?
The Tuesday mercadillo in Benijófar opens at 8am and closes at 2pm, while the Sunday BeniArte craft fair opens much later, at 11am, and trades until 5pm. Their hours do not overlap, so a Tuesday visit is a morning one and a Sunday visit an afternoon one.
Are street markets in Benijófar free to enter?
Yes, both the Benijófar Street Market on Tuesdays and the BeniArte craft fair on Sundays are free to enter. Both are outdoor markets on public ground, the mercadillo on the CV-920 and the fair in Parque Cañada Marsá, with no gate and no ticket. You pay each stall directly.
