Calpe Weekly Market

Calpe Weekly Market (Mercadillo de Calpe) sets up every Saturday morning in Calp, offering one of the region's largest weekly street markets with 250 stalls. The market runs from 8am to 2pm across Avenida de Rumanía and the Parking calle Petit food section. You'll find everything from clothing and footwear to fresh fruits and vegetables. Carry cash, since card acceptance varies from one trader to the next.

What you'll find at Calpe Weekly Market

Clothing and footwear take up most of the 250 pitches, from everyday wear to leather goods and shoes. The fruit and vegetable stalls trade separately in the Parking calle Petit section rather than along the main avenue, so walk down there if groceries are what you came for.

How to get to Calpe Weekly Market

The market fills Avenida de Rumanía, with the food section a short walk away at Parking calle Petit. It is entirely open air, with no hall to shelter in, so a Saturday in August is worth starting near 8am rather than at noon. See the rest of the street markets in Calp, or the wider Alicante province page, for other days of the week.

Where to stay in Calp

Staying in the old town around Casco Antiguo puts you within easy walking distance of the weekly market and the seafront. For something right by the water, the AR Roca Escandinava is a solid choice with good access to the town centre.

If you prefer more space and a pool, look at options near Playa de la Fossa, where several well-placed apartments and hotels make it easy to combine a beach break with your market morning.

What day is Calpe Weekly Market?

Calpe Weekly Market runs every Saturday from 8am to 2pm. The pattern is weekly rather than monthly or seasonal, so the Saturday slot holds through the year, and there is no second trading day. All 250 stalls set up on that one morning, across Avenida de Rumanía and the Parking calle Petit food section.

Where does Calpe Weekly Market set up?

Calpe Weekly Market sets up along Avenida de Rumanía, with its food section in the Parking calle Petit a short walk from the main run of stalls. It is an open-air market with no indoor hall, so the 250 pitches spread across the avenue and the car park for the morning, then pack away by 2pm.

Do I need cash at Calpe Weekly Market?

Yes, carry cash to Calpe Weekly Market. No card payment is recorded for any of its 250 stalls, and acceptance at an open-air market of this size varies from one trader to the next, so small euro notes are the safe option for the fruit and vegetable pitches as well as the clothing stalls.
