Where the markets set up in Torrevieja
La Mata Market lines Avenida de Francia beside the Canal del Acequión, in the La Mata district up the coast from the town centre. The Hippies Craft Market moved in March 2025 to the Vía Verde on Avenida de la Estación, away from its long-standing pitch on Paseo de la Libertad, so older directions send you to the wrong end of town.

Tips for visiting
Fresh fruit and vegetables are only at La Mata Market, so Wednesday is the day if you want produce alongside the clothing and footwear rails. Friday is handicrafts, jewellery, footwear and second-hand books, and it is the only Torrevieja market recorded as taking contactless and mobile payments, so carry notes for the other two.
Where to stay in Torrevieja
The town centre puts the Friday market and the daily craft market within walking distance, and Paseo Vista Alegre is a short walk along the seafront from both. La Mata sits north along the coast, so the Wednesday market wants a car or the bus. Nearby towns are on the Alicante province page.
