Updated 18 January 2026 Verified information

Dénia's main indoor market since 1955, with 25 stalls selling fresh fish, meat, vegetables and local produce. Open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 3pm.

Dénia Municipal Market has been the heart of fresh food shopping in Dénia since it opened in 1955. The covered, air-conditioned building on Calle Magallanes houses 25 stalls spread across two connected naves, open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 3pm. It's a compact but well-stocked market, and one of the municipal markets in Dénia that locals rely on year-round.

What to buy

The fish section occupies its own smaller nave, with a separate entrance on Carrer del Mercat. It's worth seeking out for Dénia's prized red prawns (gamba roja) and daily catches from the local fishing port. The main nave runs parallel and is where you'll find meat and poultry, fresh fruit and vegetables, bread and pastries, and cheese and dairy stalls. There are also bars and café stalls inside the market, so you can grab a coffee or a quick bite between shopping. The Trocotro market operates from the same building from 11am, with a focus on fresh produce and prepared foods.
