Where to stay in Alcalà de Xivert
Staying in Alcossebre puts you close to the coast and within walking distance of the Tuesday market on the Passeig Marítim, with plenty of accommodation along the seafront. Alcalà de Xivert town centre is the alternative if you want the Friday market on your doorstep and a quieter, more local feel.
If you prefer somewhere with a pool and a bit more comfort, look for apartments or holiday rentals around Les Fonts, a short drive from both.

Market days in Alcalà de Xivert
Tuesday and Friday are the market days, and they do not overlap in hours. Tuesday is the busier of the two by some distance, and it is an evening market; Friday is the morning one, finishing by 1.30pm. Nothing trades here at the weekend, so a Saturday or Sunday visit means driving to Peñíscola or Benicarló.
Street markets in Alcalà de Xivert
Both markets here are street markets, set up outdoors and cleared away the same day. The larger takes over the Passeig Marítim in Alcossebre with 136 stalls and trades from 5pm to 10pm, which makes it something to plan an evening around rather than a morning errand if you are staying on the coast. Clothing, footwear and jewellery account for much of the run, with fruit, vegetable, cheese and bakery stalls alongside.
The inland market on Plaça d'en Ricard Cardona is far more compact at 25 stalls and runs from 8am to 1.30pm, produce first: fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts and dried fruits, and clothing. It is wheelchair accessible, has a children's play area beside it, and its stalls take cards as well as cash. Both are listed with directions on the street markets page for Alcalà de Xivert, and the rest of the coast is covered on the Castellón province page. The Ajuntament d'Alcalà de Xivert publishes changes to either schedule.
