Street markets in Novelda
The Ramón Carmen Mari Street Market is Novelda's largest, with around 20 stalls selling clothing, footwear, handicrafts, and fresh fruit and vegetables sourced from growers in the surrounding Vinalopó valley. It runs weekly and is the best option if fresh produce is your main reason for visiting. Arrive before midday for the widest selection, and bring cash as most stall holders do not accept cards.
The Novelda Flea Market is the town's second street market, also held weekly outdoors. Stall numbers are smaller and the focus shifts to clothing, antiques and books, making it a good stop for anyone browsing for secondhand finds. You can check the Novelda town hall website for any schedule changes around local fiestas.
If you want more market options nearby, Elda and Petrer both have their own weekly mercadillos within easy reach of Novelda.
