Calpe La Fossa Beach Craft Market

Calpe La Fossa Beach Craft Market sets up every evening on Plaza del Mediterráneo, on the Paseo Marítimo Infanta Cristina seafront in Calpe, and trades from 6pm until midnight. Its 17 stalls sell handicrafts, jewellery and leather goods, and running after dark seven nights a week makes it a stop at the end of a beach day rather than something to plan a morning around.

What you'll find at 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.

Where is Calpe La Fossa Beach Craft Market?

Calpe La Fossa Beach Craft Market sets up on Plaza del Mediterráneo, off the Paseo Marítimo Infanta Cristina, 03710 Calp, Alicante. That is the seafront promenade behind Playa de la Fossa, so most beachfront accommodation is within walking distance. The 17 stalls occupy the square itself rather than spreading along the promenade.

Does Calpe La Fossa Beach Craft Market take cards?

Calpe La Fossa Beach Craft Market does not publish payment options for its stalls, so carry cash. The 17 traders on Plaza del Mediterráneo work independently of each other, and each one decides whether to accept a card, which means cash is the only thing certain to work at every stall on the square.
