Market days in San Vicente del Raspeig
Saturday is the day to come. Both of the town's markets trade on a Saturday, against one each on Friday and on Sunday, so a Saturday morning is the only time you can see the whole of the local market scene in one trip.
Opening is typically 9am, with traders packing up around 2pm. There is no afternoon session, and no market here trades on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
Street markets in San Vicente del Raspeig
Both of the town's markets are street markets, set up outdoors and packed away by early afternoon. Between them they cover the everyday end of the trade, clothing and textiles first, then footwear and leather, with handicraft and jewellery stalls filling out the rest. Nothing here is a food hall, so come for a browse and a bargain rather than a week's shopping.
The largest is the San Vicente del Raspeig Medieval Market, with 50 stalls and a theme that pushes the handicraft side well past what a standard weekly market carries. The second market is smaller and more conventional, and the two together are what keeps the town trading across three days of the week. The full listing, with each market's own day and address, is on the street markets in this city page. Nearby, El Campello runs its own weekly market if you want to combine a day of market browsing in the area.
What day is the market in San Vicente del Raspeig?

Markets in San Vicente del Raspeig usually open at 9am and finish around 2pm, with no afternoon session. Traders start packing up before the stated closing time, so arrive by midday if you want the full run of 50 stalls at the town's largest market rather than a thinning row.
Is there a medieval market in San Vicente del Raspeig?
Yes, the San Vicente del Raspeig Medieval Market is the larger of the town's two street markets, with 50 outdoor stalls. Its theme weights the trading towards handicrafts and clothing, which makes it the better of the two if you are looking for artisan work rather than everyday clothing and footwear.
What can you buy at the markets in San Vicente del Raspeig?
Clothing and textiles are the mainstay at both San Vicente del Raspeig markets, alongside footwear and leather goods, handicrafts and jewellery. These are outdoor street markets rather than food markets, so bring cash and expect stalls selling to browse rather than counters selling produce for the week.
Are the markets in San Vicente del Raspeig open on a Sunday?
Yes, one of San Vicente del Raspeig's two street markets trades on a Sunday, from around 9am to 2pm. It is the quietest of the town's three market days, with Saturday carrying both markets, so a Sunday visit gives you a smaller market and an easier morning.
