Santa Pola Central Market (Mercado Central de Santa Pola) is a covered indoor market on Plaça Maestro Quislant in the heart of Santa Pola. Around 30 stalls open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 2pm, selling fresh seafood, fruit and vegetables, meat, cheese, dairy, and bread. It's the main municipal market in Santa Pola, and the fish counters are its standout feature, stocked daily from Santa Pola's working fishing fleet.
What to buy
Seafood is the reason most people come. Santa Pola is one of the most active fishing ports on the Costa Blanca, and fresh catches reach the stalls each morning. You'll find fish, shellfish, and local specialities alongside a good selection of fruit, vegetables, butchery, cheese, and bakery goods. Pavement cafes around the market serve coffee, churros, and snacks, so it's easy to make a morning of it.
