Calpe La Fossa Beach Craft Market

The 17 stalls are artisan rather than general market, which is what the Spanish name, Feria de Artesanía de la Plaza Mediterráneo, tells you. Handicrafts, jewellery, and footwear and leather work are the three categories on record, so expect handmade pieces and accessories rather than the clothing rails and produce vans of a daytime mercadillo. Payment options are not published for the stalls here, so carry cash.

Arenal-Bol is a solid choice if you want to walk to the market without fussing over parking, and Playa de la Fossa itself puts the Plaza del Mediterráneo stalls a few minutes from your door.

For something more comfortable, AR Diamante Beach Spa Hotel and Hotel Vina del Mar are both well-placed options close to the seafront.

The market occupies Plaza del Mediterráneo on the Paseo Marítimo Infanta Cristina, 03710 Calp, the promenade running behind Playa de la Fossa. It is entirely outdoors with no fixed cover. Calp's town hall commerce portal lists the town's markets on its official page. For more markets in the area, explore other street markets in Calpe.
