Tips for visiting
Arrive by 8.30am: with a 2pm finish, the antiques and secondhand stalls are picked over first. Bring cash, since card acceptance at smaller stalls varies from one trader to the next. For the days the town has nothing on, nearby towns are listed on the Alicante province page.
Where to stay in Sant Joan d'Alacant
