Where to stay in La Mata
La Mata is a small coastal resort, so staying close to the beachfront puts you within easy walking distance of the local markets and the lagoon. La Mata Beachfront is the most convenient base, with plenty of apartments and small hotels to choose from.
If you prefer a bit more comfort, Torrevieja Town Centre is just a short drive away and gives you access to a wider choice of accommodation, plus easy reach of the markets in both towns.

Street markets in La Mata
La Mata Weekly Market is the town's sole market, setting up outdoors on Wednesday mornings with 250 stalls dedicated to clothing and footwear. Textiles and leather goods make up most of what is on sale, and the range tends toward casual and summer wear, which suits the coastal setting well. There is no food hall or indoor municipal market in La Mata, so this is the one market to plan for. Full details are on the street markets in La Mata page.
Arriving near the 8am opening gives you the best pick of the stalls before the midday heat sets in, and traders begin packing away towards the 2pm close.
La Mata sits within the Alicante province, which hosts a large number of weekly street markets throughout the year. Nearby towns such as Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura also have their own markets if you want to combine trips on different days of the week.
What day is the market in La Mata?
La Mata's street market runs on Wednesday, and that is the only market day in the town. The market opens at 8am and finishes at 2pm, so a Wednesday morning is the single window in the week to catch it. Nothing trades in La Mata on any other day.
What time does La Mata market open?
La Mata Weekly Market opens at 8am and trades until 2pm every Wednesday. With 250 stalls to walk, the first hour is the coolest and the quietest, and traders begin dismantling towards the 2pm close, so arriving after 1pm leaves you very little of the market to see.
What can you buy at La Mata market?
Clothing and footwear are what La Mata's 250 stalls sell, textiles and leather goods included. It is a market for browsing casual and summer wear rather than a place to do a food shop, so buy groceries elsewhere. The whole run of stalls is outdoors, and the Wednesday 8am to 2pm session is the only chance in the week.
How many markets are there in La Mata?
One market trades in La Mata: La Mata Weekly Market, a 250-stall street market held on Wednesday mornings from 8am to 2pm. There is no covered municipal market in the town, so for an indoor food market you need a neighbouring town such as Torrevieja.
