Novelda Flea Market

Novelda Flea Market, the Rastro de Novelda, sets up every Sunday morning along Avenida Jesús Navarro Jover and runs from 8am to 2pm. It is one of the markets in Novelda, and one of the town's street markets, an open-air rastro of antiques, second-hand books and clothing rather than a food market. Those six hours are the whole of it, so go in the morning.

What you'll find at Novelda Flea Market

Stalls fall into three groups: antiques, clothing and textiles, and books and magazines. Rastro is the right word for it, since the stock is second-hand and turns over from one Sunday to the next rather than arriving in the same boxes each week. Prices reflect that, and there is no fruit, vegetable or produce side to this one.

How to get to Novelda Flea Market

The market runs along Avenida Jesús Navarro Jover, 03660 Novelda, in Alicante province. Nothing is under cover, so the stalls occupy the avenue itself and there is no gate or entrance to look for. The organisers post dates and any changes on the market's official page, which is worth a look before a Sunday that falls on a public holiday.

Where to stay in Novelda

Novelda is a small town, so your best bet is to stay centrally, within easy walking distance of the market. Town Centre puts you close to everything, and you won't need a car to get around once you're settled.

If you'd prefer a bit more comfort or choice, the nearby city of Elche is just a short drive away and has more accommodation options to pick from. Elche City Centre works well as a base if you're happy to make the short trip into Novelda on market day.
