Where to stay in San Fulgencio
San Fulgencio is a small town, so staying in La Marina Urbanisation puts you close to the weekly market action and gives you easy access to local amenities. The town centre itself is compact enough that you can walk to most things, so San Fulgencio Town Centre is another solid base if you prefer a quieter, more residential feel.
If you'd rather be near the coast while still making the short drive inland for market days, La Marina Beach Area is worth considering, with the added bonus of the beach on your doorstep between visits.

Market days in San Fulgencio
Thursday and Saturday are the two busiest days, with two markets trading on each, and Tuesday carries the remaining one. Nothing trades on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Sunday, so a trip built around a market needs to land on one of those three days.
If you are working across this part of the Costa Blanca, Torrevieja and Rojales both hold their own weekly markets within easy driving distance and fill in the days San Fulgencio leaves empty.
Street markets in San Fulgencio
The mix leans towards clothing, footwear and household goods, with fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, meat and poultry, bread and bakery and prepared foods on the food side, plus handicrafts, jewellery, and books and magazines. The bigger Saturday and town-centre markets carry the widest produce selection; the smaller ones are stronger on clothing and crafts than on groceries.
Much of the custom comes from the La Marina urbanisation, the large expat settlement on this stretch of the Costa Blanca. Sizes range from 20 stalls up to 40, so none of these is a half-day affair, and arriving in the first hour is the difference between browsing and queuing. The full listing sits below, and the street markets in this city page has the same set with times and addresses. The San Fulgencio town hall website publishes changes to market schedules around fair weeks and public holidays.
