Where to stay in Calp
Staying in Calp Old Town puts you within easy walking distance of the weekly market and the local shops around the Peñón de Ifach. It's a compact area, so you won't need a car to get around once you've arrived.
If you prefer a seafront base, Arenal-Bol Beach has plenty of apartments and hotels with good transport links into the centre. Either way, Calp is small enough that nowhere feels too far from the action.

Market days in Calp
Wednesday and Saturday are the market days in Calp, and they do not overlap. Wednesday is the flea market and its antiques; Saturday is the weekly market and its produce, clothing and shoes. Both open in the morning, 9am on Wednesday and 8am on Saturday, and both close at 2pm. No market trades here on a Sunday.
Street markets in Calp
The Calpe Weekly Market is the larger of the two, with around 250 stalls along Avenida de Rumanía and its food section running off Parking calle Petit. It sets up on Saturday from 8am and trades until 2pm, selling fresh fruit and vegetables, clothing and textiles, and footwear and leather goods. It is one of the bigger weekly markets on this stretch of the Alicante coast, so the earlier you arrive the easier the parking.
The Calpe Flea Market is a different proposition entirely. It runs on Wednesday from 9am to 2pm on Avenida del País Valencià, and its stalls deal in antiques and second-hand pieces rather than produce. The record carries no stall count for it, but it is a weekly fixture rather than an occasional event. Both markets are listed with maps on the street markets in Calp page, alongside every other town in Alicante province. For fair weeks, public holidays and date changes, the Calp tourism website is the official source.
Does Calpe have a Saturday market?

What does the Calpe Wednesday market sell?
The Wednesday market in Calpe is the Calpe Flea Market, and it sells antiques and second-hand goods rather than food or clothing. It runs from 9am to 2pm on Avenida del País Valencià. For fresh produce, clothing and footwear you want Saturday's Calpe Weekly Market instead.
What is the mercadillo in Calpe?
Mercadillo is the Spanish word for a street market, and Calp has two of them. The Saturday market, known locally as Mercadillo de Calpe, is the one most people mean, with roughly 250 stalls of produce, clothing and footwear. The Wednesday one, Rastro de Calpe, sells antiques.
How many markets are there in Calp?
Calp has two markets, both of them outdoor street markets: the Calpe Weekly Market on Saturday and the Calpe Flea Market on Wednesday. There is no indoor municipal food market in the town, so Saturday morning is when you go for fresh fruit and vegetables.
