Markets in Orihuela
Alicante, Valencian Community
The Cabo Roig market is one of seven weekly street markets across Orihuela and its coastal urbanisations, making this corner of the Alicante province one of the more active market towns in the Vega Baja del Segura. Markets run on every day of the week depending on where you are, covering everything from fresh produce grown in the surrounding agricultural valley to clothing, footwear, handicrafts, and organic goods. There are no indoor municipal markets in the city, so all trading happens outdoors.

Where to stay in Orihuela
Staying in the City Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the main markets and the historic old town. For something comfortable and well-located, Orihuela Costa is worth considering if you're combining a market visit with some time by the coast.
If you prefer a straightforward base, look for accommodation along the main avenues close to the train station, where you'll find a good mix of hotels and guesthouses at reasonable prices.

Street markets in Orihuela
La Murada Sunday Market is the largest in the area by some distance, with around 250 stalls set up each week. It focuses on fresh fruit, vegetables, clothing, and footwear, and the scale of it makes it worth a dedicated trip if your visit falls on a Sunday.
The two central Orihuela markets, one running on a weekday and the other on Saturday, each have around 40 stalls selling similar produce: fresh fruit, vegetables, clothing, and footwear. The Saturday market on Avenida de la Vega is a good option if you want a city-centre market with locally grown Vega Baja produce without travelling out to the coast.
The Campoamor Cabo Roig Street Market runs on Thursdays and draws a loyal crowd from the surrounding residential urbanisations. It is a smaller market of around 15 stalls, with a focus on clothing, footwear, and handicrafts rather than fresh food.
The remaining three markets each have a more specialist character. The Orihuela Agricultural Market runs weekly with around 20 stalls selling fresh produce, meat and poultry, and cheese and dairy. The Orihuela Ecological Market offers organic produce, fresh vegetables, fruit, and bread and pastries. The Playa Flamenca Street Market, out on the coast, adds prepared foods to the usual mix of clothing and fresh produce.
