What you'll find at Martínez Valero Stadium Market
Fresh fruit and vegetables take up much of the ground, with cheese and dairy stalls alongside them and spices and herbs for anyone restocking a kitchen. The rest of the esplanade runs to clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, and flowers and plants, which is what makes it worth a trip for more than the week's groceries.
Where to stay in Elche
Staying in central Elche puts you closest to the stadium area, so look at options around City Centre for easy access on market day. The Hotel Huerto del Cura is a well-regarded choice with a peaceful feel, or you can try the NH Elche if you prefer something more straightforward and central.
