Tips for visiting
Hours here are not all morning hours. The commonest start time across the five is 7pm, and the latest of them trade through to midnight, so read the timetable above rather than turning up at nine and hoping. For the Thursday markets, arriving early gives you the pick of the produce and gets you out before the midday heat. Card acceptance varies from stall to stall, so carry euros. Friday is the quietest day, with a single market trading, and Thursday the busiest with four. Other towns along this stretch of coast are listed on the province page.
Where to stay in Benicasim
The town centre is the practical base for market visits, since it puts the Thursday market and the shops and cafes around it within walking distance and saves you moving a car on the busiest morning of the week. If you want the beach as well, Las Villas sits on the seafront and is still a short trip in. A car is worth having if you mean to catch several of the five in one week, given how far apart their days and hours sit.
