Around 40 stalls line the avenue, selling fresh fruit, vegetables, clothing, and leather goods. The Orihuela market day is a weekly fixture for locals and a good reason to visit if you're staying on the coast. Bring cash, as stalls don't take cards.

What you'll find
The fresh produce side is the highlight, with locally grown fruit and vegetables from the fertile Vega Baja farmland.

The other half of the market leans towards clothing, textiles, and footwear, with stalls selling everyday basics at good prices. You'll also find leather bags, belts, and accessories worth checking out.
