Orihuela Ecological Market

Orihuela Ecological Market is an outdoor organic market in Orihuela that runs every Saturday from 10am to 8pm. Growers sell fruit and vegetables raised to ecological standards alongside bread from local bakers, and the ten-hour session gives it a longer window than most of the other street markets in Orihuela.

What you'll find at Orihuela Ecological Market

The stalls are organic produce and little else: seasonal vegetables and fruit grown without synthetic pesticides, plus bread and bakery items. It is a food market rather than a general street market, so there is no clothing or household aisle to work through before you reach the vegetables.

Where to stay in Orihuela

Staying in Orihuela City Centre puts you close to the market and within easy walking distance of the old town's shops and cafes. The Hotel Rey Teodomiro is a solid choice, well-placed and comfortable for a short stay.

If you prefer a quieter base, the area around Orihuela Costa is worth considering, especially if you're combining the market with a day at the coast. Either way, Orihuela is compact enough that getting around is straightforward.
