Where to stay in Cocentaina
Cocentaina is a small town, so your best bet is staying in Town Centre, where you'll be within easy walking distance of the market activity and the old quarter. For a bit more choice, nearby Alcoy is just a few minutes away and has more accommodation options if you want a larger base.
If you do find a room in town, look for options around El Comtat to keep things simple and central. Wherever you stay, getting around is straightforward and the town is compact enough to explore on foot.

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.
