Saturday is the busiest day
Two of the town's three street markets set up on Saturday, against one on Tuesday, so a Saturday morning gets you the fullest choice in a single walk. The largest is Xaló Market, with 25 stalls and a strong antiques and brocante element rather than food alone. Nothing trades on a Sunday.

Tips for visiting
Arrive close to the 9am start for the best of the fresh fruit and vegetables, since most stalls have packed up by the 2pm close. Bring cash, as card payment varies from one trader to the next. Xaló sits inland in the Jalón valley, a short drive from Benissa and Calpe, and the rest of Alicante province runs markets on most days of the week.
Where to stay in Xaló
Staying in the Jalón Valley itself puts you closest to the market and within easy reach of the vineyards and local shops around the town, which matters when the stalls open at 9am and are gone by 2pm. For a wider choice of hotels, restaurants and transport, Benissa and Calpe are both short drives away, and either leaves you a straightforward morning run into the valley.
What day is the market in Xaló?
Xaló's busiest market day is Saturday, when two of the town's three street markets set up, including the 25-stall Xaló Market. The third runs on Tuesday. All of them trade in the morning, with usual hours of 9am to 2pm, and no street market in Xaló runs on a Sunday.
What time do street markets in Xaló open?
