It sets up undercover on the Avinguda de la Paz and trades in the evening, 6pm to 11.30pm, through June, July and August only. The product mix is much the same, handicrafts, jewellery, clothing and footwear, but the hours make it an after-dinner browse rather than a morning shop. Stalls here take contactless as well as cash.

If you're planning a day trip around market visits, Calpe and Xàbia both have their own weekly street markets and are within easy driving distance of Moraira.
