Street markets in Javea
The Javea Thursday Market is the town's flagship weekly market, with 100 stalls set up outdoors and a strong focus on everyday fresh produce including fish and seafood, meat and poultry, and cheese and dairy. It is the most practical choice for anyone stocking up on groceries or wanting to browse a proper general market. The Javea Saturday Municipal Market Mercadillo runs a similar fresh food offer on Saturdays, covering fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, and dairy, making it a useful alternative for those not visiting mid-week.
For crafts and handmade goods, two dedicated markets run regularly: the Javea Nighttime Craft Fair, which focuses on handicrafts in an evening outdoor setting, and the Javea Weekend Craft Fair, which covers similar ground during daytime hours at the weekend. Both are popular with visitors looking for locally made items rather than food produce. The Javea Park Market, known as the Charity Rastro, specialises in antiques and second-hand goods and draws a mix of collectors and casual browsers each week. The Javea Solidarity Rastro, run by APASA, rounds out the weekly calendar with a charitable focus.
For wider context on markets along this stretch of coast, nearby Denia and Calpe also have active weekly markets within easy reach of Javea.
