El Campello Municipal Street Market

El Campello Municipal Street Market, the Mercadillo Municipal de El Campello, sets up every Wednesday from 8am to 2pm, then packs away for another week. Around 40 stalls trade clothing, footwear and handicrafts, and unusually for a Spanish mercadillo, they take contactless and mobile payments as well as cash. It is the town's weekly general market, listed with the rest of the markets in El Campello and the town's other street markets.

What you'll find at El Campello Municipal Street Market

Three categories cover the 40 stalls: clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, and handicrafts. That means seasonal clothes, shoes, bags and handmade pieces rather than fruit, fish or cheese, so this is not the market for a weekly food shop. The whole run is outdoors and wheelchair accessible.

How to get to El Campello street market

The market runs in the town of El Campello itself, postcode 03560, in Alicante province. Wednesday is the only day it trades, so the day matters more than the hour when you plan the trip. The El Campello tourism office lists the market on its own pages.

What day is El Campello market?

El Campello Municipal Street Market runs every Wednesday from 8am to 2pm. Wednesday is its only trading day, and the pattern is weekly all year with no seasonal break, so there is no month when the market stops. Around 40 stalls set up for that six-hour window and are gone by the afternoon.

What can you buy at El Campello Wednesday market?

El Campello Municipal Street Market sells clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, and handicrafts across its 40 stalls. There is no fresh produce, meat or fish on the record, so treat it as a clothes and crafts market. Expect seasonal fashion, shoes, bags and handmade pieces rather than groceries.

Do stalls at El Campello market take card payments?

Yes, stalls at El Campello Municipal Street Market accept contactless and mobile payments as well as cash. That is worth knowing, because most Spanish street markets still run on cash alone. Carrying some coins and small notes is still sensible, since acceptance can vary from one stall to the next.

Is El Campello street market outdoors?

El Campello Municipal Street Market is an open-air market. The stalls set up outdoors on Wednesday morning and are cleared away again by 2pm, so there is no covered hall and no shelter from rain or from the summer sun on the Alicante coast. The site is wheelchair accessible.
