Weekly Saturday market with around 30 stalls selling fresh produce, flowers, handicrafts and clothing through Benissa's historic centre.
Benissa Street Market sets up every Saturday from 8am to 1:30pm across three streets in Benissa's old town. Known locally as the Mercadillo de Benissa, it is one of the town's street markets, and its 30 stalls line Calle Sant Josep, San Nicolás and Hort de Bordes. Bring cash, since the traders take nothing else, and arrive by 9am before stalls start packing up towards midday.
If Saturday falls on a public holiday, the market may move to Friday. Check the Benissa tourism portal for holiday schedule changes. On the second Saturday of each month, the Mercat dels Porxes at Plaça Jaume I runs from 9am to 2pm with local organic products and handcrafted goods.
What you'll find at Benissa Street Market
The market splits into two halves. One is fresh produce, with seasonal fruit and vegetables sold from the stalls on Calle Sant Josep. The other is everyday goods: clothing and textiles, footwear and leather bags, flowers and potted plants. Handicrafts run through both, including handmade jewellery and ceramics among the clothing rails.
