Jávea Municipal Market
A compact indoor market in Xàbia's old town with 25 stalls selling fresh fish, fruit, vegetables, meat, and bakery goods six days a week.
Jávea Municipal Market (Mercat de Xàbia) is a covered indoor market on Carrer Roques in Xàbia, right opposite the Church of San Bartolomé. The building dates from 1946, constructed on the site of a 17th-century Discalced Augustinian convent, and its interior features a gable roof supported by large tufa stone arches. With 25 stalls spread across the compact floor plan, it's the main spot for fresh food shopping among municipal markets in Xàbia.
What to buy
The stalls cover everything you'd need for a proper Mediterranean spread: fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood from the local Costa Blanca waters, butchers with meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and a bakery for fresh bread. It's a tight-knit market, but the range is solid. All stalls accept cash, card, and contactless payments.
