Jesús Pobre market runs every Sunday from 9am to 2pm at the Riurau de Benissadeví, with fresh vegetables and fruit, artisan bread, handicrafts and organic products.
Mercat del Riurau de Jesús Pobre sets up every Sunday from 9am to 2pm at the Riurau de Benissadeví, in the village of Jesús Pobre just inland from Dénia. The setting is the draw as much as the shopping: a riurau is the long arched building once used for drying muscatel grapes on the Marina Alta.
About Mercat del Riurau de Jesús Pobre
One trading session a week, Sunday morning, with stalls packed away by 2pm, so this is not somewhere to turn up at lunchtime. It is all outdoors, laid out around and beneath the arches rather than in a hall, so there are no fixed counters.
What you'll find at Mercat del Riurau de Jesús Pobre
Seasonal vegetables and fruit, bread and bakery from artisan producers, and a run of organic products, alongside stalls selling handicrafts.
Where to stay in Denia
Jesús Pobre is a quiet inland village a few minutes' drive from Denia, so staying in Denia itself is your best bet. Try Hotel Chamarel for a comfortable, well-located base, or look for something in Denia Old Town if you want to be within easy reach of the port and the rest of the town's markets. Booking a place in Les Marines gives you a good middle ground, with the beach nearby and Jesús Pobre a short drive away.

How to get to Mercat del Riurau de Jesús Pobre
Jesús Pobre is a short drive inland from Dénia, and the market is signposted to the Riurau de Benissadeví once you reach the village. Park on the edge of the village and walk in, as the streets around the riurau are narrow. The organiser's Riurau de Benissadeví page has directions and event listings. Other street markets in Dénia and the town's municipal markets cover the rest of the week.
