Runs every Tuesday from 9am to 2pm in Xaló's Plaza de la Iglesia, 15 stalls of fresh produce, clothing and footwear.
Xaló Weekly Market sets up every Tuesday morning in Plaza de la Iglesia, the central square of Xaló in Alicante province. Signposted and listed in Spanish as Mercadillo Semanal de Jalón, it is the town's one weekly street market, running from 9am to 2pm with 15 stalls. It is the whole of the town's street market trade in a single morning, and by lunchtime the square is empty again.
What you'll find at Xaló Weekly Market
Fruit and vegetable stalls are the core of the market, and at 15 stalls in total you can walk the whole square in a few minutes. The rest is clothing and textiles for everyday wear alongside footwear and leather goods. It is a general village market rather than a specialist food market, so treat it as a produce run with a browse attached rather than a morning's shopping.
Where to stay in Xaló
Xaló is a small village, so accommodation is limited but well placed. Staying in Xaló Village Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the weekly market and the local bodegas.

Do stalls at Xaló Weekly Market take cards?
