About Muro de Alcoy Municipal Market

The market is one of two municipal markets in Muro de Alcoy, both located on the same street. It trades entirely indoors, so a wet January morning shops the same way a July one does, and the entrance is wheelchair accessible. Payment is taken in cash, by contactless card and by mobile, though what any one of the 15 stalls accepts varies. The hours do not shift across the week: 8am to 2pm on all five trading days, with Sunday and Monday closed.

What to buy at Muro de Alcoy Municipal Market

The 15 stalls cover the full spread of daily ingredients: fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, bread and bakery goods, and prepared foods you can eat without cooking. Because the hall trades Tuesday to Saturday rather than on a single market day, it works as a weekday errand rather than a trip you have to plan a week around. For a wider choice of stalls, Alcoi is a short drive away.
