About Benissa Municipal Market
Benissa Municipal Market operates daily from 9am to 8:40pm Monday through Saturday on Carrer Hort de Bordes. This indoor municipal market serves the local community with fresh food essentials from established vendors.
The market specializes in fresh fruits and vegetables, locally sourced meat and poultry, daily fish catches, and dairy products including regional cheeses. You'll also find fresh bread and bakery items from local bakers.
Vendors typically receive their freshest stock in the morning hours. Plan your visit between 10am and noon for the best selection and to avoid any potential afternoon closures by individual stalls.
The market accepts both cash and mobile payments, making transactions convenient for all visitors. The central location puts you within walking distance of Benissa's historic quarter and traditional architecture.
This is a working market that primarily serves locals rather than tourists. Expect straightforward shopping focused on quality daily essentials rather than specialty items or souvenirs.

Where to stay in Benissa
Benissa is a small town, so staying close to the centre puts you within easy reach of the market and the old quarter. Try Benissa Town Centre for the most convenient base, or look at rural options in the surrounding area if you prefer a quieter stay.
For something a little different, the nearby coast at Calpe is just a short drive away and has more accommodation to choose from, making Calpe a practical alternative if you want to combine a market visit with some time by the sea.
