Markets in Torre de la Horadada
Alicante, Valencian Community · 2 markets tracked
Torre de la Horadada is one of the few places on this stretch of coast where market day is an evening affair. Both of the town's two markets set up on a Wednesday from 16:00 to 22:00, so you shop in the cooler part of the day rather than the morning heat. If you are used to Spanish markets packing up at two in the afternoon, this is a different rhythm.
The town sits at the southern end of Alicante province, on the coast within the municipality of Pilar de la Horadada. Because both markets fall on the same day, nothing trades here from Thursday through to Tuesday, which is worth knowing if you are here for a short stay.

Street markets in Torre de la Horadada
Everything that trades in the town is an outdoor street market, so there is no covered municipal hall to fall back on in bad weather. The larger of the two runs to 55 stalls, and between them they cover fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese and dairy, clothing, footwear, flowers and plants, handicrafts and jewellery. You can see both side by side on the street markets page for Torre de la Horadada, with the day and hours for each.
The two do not run all year round in the same form, so check the individual listing before you set out. The practical approach is to treat Wednesday afternoon as the fixed point: arrive from about four o'clock and you will have several hours of trading ahead of you rather than a market already winding down.
Planning a Wednesday visit
A 16:00 to 22:00 market changes how you use the day. Mornings stay free for the beach, the market slots in afterwards, and the stalls are lit up after dark for the last couple of hours. The town is compact, and the market streets are within a short walk of the harbour and the beaches.
What day is the market in Torre de la Horadada?
Wednesday. Both of Torre de la Horadada's street markets trade on the same day, from 16:00 to 22:00, so the town has nothing set up from Thursday through to Tuesday. The larger of the two runs to 55 stalls, selling fruit and vegetables, cheese, clothing, footwear, flowers and handicrafts.
What time do the markets in Torre de la Horadada open?
Torre de la Horadada's two street markets open at 16:00 and trade until 22:00, which makes them afternoon and evening markets rather than morning ones. Arrive from about four o'clock and you have several hours of trading ahead of you rather than stalls already packing away.
How many markets are there in Torre de la Horadada?
Two, both of them outdoor street markets, and both trading on a Wednesday from 16:00 to 22:00. There is no covered municipal market hall in Torre de la Horadada, so everything on sale here is out on the street, from fresh fruit and vegetables to cheese, clothing, footwear and jewellery.
Is there a morning market in Torre de la Horadada?
