Where to stay in Cocentaina

Street markets in Cocentaina
The Cocentaina Medieval Market is the largest of the four, with 70 stalls selling fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and clothing in an outdoor setting that reflects the town's long trading history. Cocentaina has hosted the Fira de Tots Sants since 1346, and the medieval market taps into that same tradition.
The All Saints Fair Market complements the medieval event with a broader food focus, bringing together fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy alongside handicrafts. It runs weekly outdoors and is the go-to option for shoppers after fresh everyday produce.
The Mercado de Proximidad Pla de la Font is Cocentaina's dedicated organic and local market, stocking fresh fruit, vegetables, organic produce and cheese and dairy from nearby farms. For anyone prioritising locally sourced or eco-certified food, this is the market to target.
The Cocentaina Street Market rounds out the four with a different emphasis entirely: clothing, footwear, jewellery, handicrafts and antiques rather than food. It runs weekly outdoors and suits browsers looking for secondhand finds or handmade goods. Nearby Alcoy and Muro de Alcoy hold their own weekly markets on different days, making multi-market day trips straightforward from Cocentaina. For more visitor information, the Cocentaina tourism website covers local events and transport links. You can also browse other markets across Alicante province to plan a wider itinerary.
