Javea Thursday Market

Javea Thursday Market (Mercadillo de Jávea) sets up every Thursday morning in Plaza de la Constitución, in the centre of Javea, and trades from 7:30am to 2pm. Around 100 stalls fill the square, selling fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat, cheese and bread alongside clothing and footwear. Thursday is the only day it runs, so it is worth arriving before the fresh food stalls thin out. The rest of the town's trading days are listed on the Javea markets page and under street markets in Javea.

What you'll find at Javea Thursday Market

Food takes up a good part of the 100 stalls: fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and bread and bakery goods. It is the sort of market where the week's groceries are the point rather than souvenirs.

The rest of the square is clothing and textiles, and footwear and leather goods. Prices are set stall by stall, so it pays to walk the whole square before buying.

The market runs in Plaza de la Constitución in the centre of Javea, and everything is outdoors with no indoor hall, so shade and weather are whatever the day gives you. Stalls are packed away by 2pm. For markets in the surrounding towns, see the province page.
