Street Markets in La Mata
Alicante, Valencian Community · 1 street markets
La Mata Weekly Market is the town's only street market, and it runs every Wednesday from 8am until about 2pm. Around 250 stalls set up for it, which makes it a full morning's walk rather than a couple of rows of trestle tables. The La Mata city page covers the town's markets of both types.
What's on the stalls
Clothing and textiles take the largest share of the pitches, with footwear and leather goods the next biggest group, so this is the market to walk if you want summer clothes, beach shoes or a belt at market prices. Fresh produce, household items and local goods fill the remaining rows. Bring cash and small change, since card acceptance varies from one trader to the next.

When to go
Get there between 8am and 10am. Everything is up by then, the clothing pitches still have the common sizes on the rail, and you miss both the midday heat and the point in the early afternoon when traders start folding away. Wednesday is the only day to plan around, since nothing sets up on the other six.
Where to stay in La Mata
Staying close in matters more than it sounds, because the stalls fill the streets and the parking near them goes early on a Wednesday morning. La Mata Beachfront is the most convenient base, with apartments and small hotels a short walk from where the market sets up. For a wider choice of rooms, Torrevieja Town Centre is a short drive away and puts the markets in both towns within reach, though you'll want a car for the 8am start.
