Rojales Food Market

The market sits at Calle Malecón de la Encantá 3, beside the river embankment that gives the street its name. Hours are 6am to 11pm Monday to Friday, 6am to 5pm on Saturday, and a short Sunday session from 6am to 10am, which is the one slot to plan around if you are shopping at the weekend.

With 25 stalls it is a neighbourhood market rather than a big city hall, and it is listed among the municipal markets in Rojales. The building is wheelchair accessible, and stalls take cash, credit cards, contactless and mobile payments.

The stalls between them cover fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, and bread from the bakery counters. Fish and seafood arrive for the early trade, so those counters are at their fullest well before lunchtime rather than in the long evening hours.

If you are after clothes, leather goods, plants or crafts, that is the business of the town's street markets in Rojales rather than this building.

Rojales is a small town, so staying central is your best bet. Look for accommodation in Town Centre to keep the market within easy reach on foot.

If you prefer more options nearby, the resort areas around Ciudad Quesada are just a short drive away and have plenty of apartments and holiday rentals that work well for a longer stay.

The market is at Calle Malecón de la Encantá 3, 03170 Rojales, a short walk from the town centre along the river. Coming by car from Torrevieja or Orihuela takes roughly 15 minutes, and there is street parking near the Malecón.
