About Plaza de Madrid Market
Plaza de Madrid Market operates as Elche's local food hub with 33 stalls spread across two floors and 350 square meters of sales space. The market opens Monday through Thursday from 7:30am to 2pm, with extended Friday hours until 9pm and Saturday mornings until 2:30pm.
Built in 1972 and last renovated in 1994, the market serves residents from three convenient entrances at Plaza de Madrid 14, Calle José García Ferrández 12, and Calle José Navarro Orts 13. Vendors sell fresh and frozen fish, meat, poultry, fruits, vegetables, nuts, olives, pickles, and baked goods.
The market's fish and frozen goods sections draw regular customers, particularly during weekday morning hours when selection is best. Friday evenings offer a quieter shopping experience when the market reopens from 5pm to 9pm.
A major renovation is planned for 2026 with a 2.5 million euro budget. The upgrade will add 42 flexible vendor modules and allow stalls to open directly onto the plaza, connecting the indoor market with the surrounding square.
