Street Markets in Rojales
Alicante, Valencian Community · 2 street markets
Rojales runs two street markets, and they make for very different mornings. The Thursday market is the main one, 40 stalls of fruit, vegetables, clothing and plants from 8am to 2pm. The other sets up on Calle Malecón de la Encantá on the first Sunday of each month, 10am to 1pm, and sells handicrafts and nothing else. Both are outdoors and free to walk into.

What you'll find on the stalls
Thursday is the day for food. Fresh fruit and vegetables take up a good part of the market, with rails of clothing and textiles and a run of flower and plant stalls alongside them. It is wheelchair accessible and has a children's play area on site. Carry cash, since card acceptance varies from stall to stall, although some Thursday traders take contactless and mobile payments. The first-Sunday market is handicrafts only, so treat it as a browse rather than the week's shop.

Planning your visit
Get to the Thursday market before 10am for the pick of the fruit and vegetables, since traders begin breaking down well before the 2pm finish. The craft market's 10am to 1pm slot is short enough that a late start means missing it. For the covered food market and its daily hours, see municipal markets in Rojales, or all markets in Rojales for both types together.
Where to stay in Rojales
The Thursday market sets up in the middle of town, so a bed in the town centre means walking to it at 8am rather than hunting for a parking space. Ciudad Quesada has more holiday apartments and villas, a few minutes away by road, but you will want a car for an early start.
What day is the market in Rojales?
