Castalla Weekly Market

Castalla Weekly Market sets up every Tuesday and Saturday from 8am to 2pm on Passeig Antiga Bassa de la Vila, in the centre of this inland Alicante town. Its 100 stalls cover fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, bread, clothing and footwear, which is most of a week's shopping in one morning. It is the twice-weekly fixture among the markets in Castalla, and you can see the rest of the town's street markets alongside it. Everything trades in the open air, so carry cash.

What you'll find at Castalla Weekly Market

Growers and produce stalls take up the bulk of the pitches, with seasonal fruit and vegetables sold beside fishmongers and butchers. Bread and bakery stalls and a spice and herb trader fill out the food end, and the rest of the market runs to clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods.

How to get to Castalla Weekly Market

The market sets up on Passeig Antiga Bassa de la Vila in central Castalla, a short walk from anywhere in the old town and roughly 40 minutes inland from Alicante by road. Castalla sits in Alicante province, and the town hall's official page is the place to check for changes around fair week and public holidays.

Where to stay in Castalla

Castalla is a small inland town, so accommodation options are limited locally. Your best bet is to stay in Town Centre if you can find something there, or base yourself in nearby Alcoy or Ibi and make the short drive in for market day. For more choice, Alicante City Centre is around 40 minutes away with easy road access back for an early start.

What day is Castalla Weekly Market?

Castalla Weekly Market runs every Tuesday and Saturday, from 8am to 2pm on both days. It is a weekly market with no seasonal break, so either day brings the same 100 stalls to Passeig Antiga Bassa de la Vila, selling fruit and vegetables, meat, fish and bread alongside clothing and footwear.

What time does Castalla Weekly Market open?

Castalla Weekly Market opens at 8am and closes at 2pm, on Tuesdays and Saturdays alike. That same six-hour window applies through the year, since the market runs weekly rather than seasonally. It sets up outdoors on Passeig Antiga Bassa de la Vila in central Castalla and packs away once the morning ends.

Do I need cash at Castalla Weekly Market?

Yes, cash is the safe assumption at Castalla Weekly Market. Card acceptance is not confirmed for any of its 100 stalls, and open-air traders in the inland Alicante towns commonly take cash only, so bring small notes for the fruit, fish and bread pitches.
