Weekly Saturday market with around 40 stalls selling clothing, leather goods, handicrafts, and jewellery on Av. de Rumania in Calpe.
Calpe Street Market, or Mercadillo de Calpe, sets up every Saturday from 8am to 2pm on Avenida de Rumania in Calpe, on the Costa Blanca. Around 40 stalls line the avenue selling clothing, leather goods, handicrafts and jewellery. Unlike most Spanish street markets, stalls here take contactless and mobile payments as well as cash. It is the town's main street market day, and the avenue is clear again by 2pm.
What you'll find at Calpe Street Market
The 40 stalls run to fashion, accessories and handmade goods: clothing and textiles, footwear and leather bags, handicrafts, and jewellery. Fresh food is not among the categories listed here, so this is a browsing morning rather than a grocery run. For the wider area, see markets across Alicante province.
Where to stay in Calpe
Staying in the old town puts you within walking distance of Avenida de Rumania and the beach. Old Town is a solid base, and the AR Roca Esmeralda & Spa Hotel is a popular pick if you want comfort and sea views without straying far. For a seafront room, Playa del Arenal has apartments and hotels a short walk from the market route.

What day is Calpe Street Market?
Calpe Street Market runs on Saturday, from 8am to 2pm on Avenida de Rumania. It sets up weekly and all year round, with no second market day, so a Saturday morning is the only chance to walk it. The 40 stalls are packed away and the avenue is clear again by 2pm.
What can you buy at Calpe Street Market?
Calpe Street Market's 40 stalls sell clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, handicrafts, and jewellery. Those four categories are the whole of it, so the market suits anyone after a summer wardrobe, a leather bag or a handmade souvenir. Fresh food is not listed among the stalls here.
Is Calpe Street Market a flea market?
Calpe Street Market is a general street market rather than a flea market: its four listed stall categories are clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, handicrafts and jewellery, with no second-hand or antiques category among them. Around 40 stalls trade on Avenida de Rumania each Saturday from 8am to 2pm.
Can you pay by card at Calpe Street Market?
Yes, Calpe Street Market lists contactless and mobile payments alongside cash, which is unusual for a Spanish street market where notes and coins are normally the only option. Cash is still the fastest way to pay if you are working through 40 stalls in a single morning.
