Benissa Street Market
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. Around 30 stalls line Calle Sant Josep, San Nicolás and Hort de Bordes, selling fresh produce, flowers, clothing, handicrafts and footwear. It's a cash-only market, so bring euros. Get there by 9am for the best selection before stalls start packing up around midday.
Fresh fruit and vegetables from local farms are sold on Calle Sant Josep, while clothing, shoes, accessories and plants fill San Nicolás and Hort de Bordes. The route passes Benissa's traditional shops too, so you can pick up bread and cured meats from local bakers and butchers along the way.
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
The Benissa market splits neatly into two halves. One side is fresh produce: seasonal fruits, vegetables, herbs, honey and preserves from farms in the Marina Alta. The other side is everyday goods, with stalls selling clothing, footwear, leather bags, costume jewellery, home décor, flowers and plants.
Handicrafts are a draw here. You'll find handmade jewellery, ceramics and traditional crafts alongside the regular clothing stalls. It's a good place to pick up something locally made if you're staying on the Costa Blanca.
