You'll find fresh fruits and vegetables, organic products, cheese and dairy, bread and bakery items, handicrafts and prepared foods.
What you'll find at Mercat dels Porxes
The market focuses on fresh, local produce. You'll pick up seasonal fruits and vegetables from regional growers, along with organic products if you prefer to avoid pesticides. The cheese and dairy section stocks local varieties alongside bread and bakery items, many baked fresh that morning.
Beyond food, you'll discover handmade handicrafts from local artisans, and prepared food stalls if you'd like to grab something ready to eat.
Where to stay in Benissa
Benissa is a small town, so your best bet is to stay centrally in Town Centre, where you can walk to the Mercat dels Porxes without any fuss. If you prefer something with more of a holiday feel, the coastal area of Benissa Costa is just a short drive away and has a good selection of accommodation.
For a more characterful stay, some travellers choose to base themselves in nearby Calpe or Moraira and make the short trip into Benissa on market day, which works well if you want more options for places to sleep.
