La Murada Sunday Market

La Murada Sunday Market sets up every Sunday from 8am to 2pm on Calle de la Plaza, in the inland village of La Murada, part of Orihuela. With 250 stalls it is one of the largest street markets in Orihuela, and it fills the village for one morning a week before packing up by early afternoon. Bring cash, as the stalls do not take cards.

About La Murada Sunday Market

This is a local village market rather than a tourist one, running weekly all year in the same 8am to 2pm slot. There is no indoor hall to duck into and nothing left standing on Monday. Come early, both for parking on the streets around the plaza and for the produce.

What you'll find at La Murada Sunday Market

Fresh fruit and vegetables make up the produce end of the market, sold by the crate as much as by the kilo, and they are the closest thing La Murada has to a farmers market. The rest of the 250 stalls lean towards clothing and textiles, from everyday casual wear to bedlinen and fabric by the metre, plus footwear and leather goods such as belts, bags and sandals.

How to get to La Murada Sunday Market

La Murada sits inland from Orihuela city, and the market occupies Calle de la Plaza and the streets immediately around it, so drivers should expect to park a few streets back and walk in. If Sunday does not suit, the other markets in Orihuela cover the rest of the week.

Where to stay in Orihuela

La Murada is a small village, so Orihuela city is the practical base, and the drive out to the market takes only a few minutes. Look at Orihuela City Centre for restaurants and transport on the doorstep, or check what is available in La Murada itself if you would rather wake up beside the stalls.

What day is La Murada Sunday Market?
