How to get to La Mata Weekly Market

The market occupies Canal del Acequión and spreads into Avenida de Francia, Avenida de Los Holandeses and Avenida de Los Suecos, a few streets back from the seafront. It is all open air, with no cover over any of the four avenues. La Mata sits inside the Torrevieja municipality, on the coast of Alicante province.
