Castellón Antiques Market

Castellón Antiques Market, the Mercadillo de Antigüedades de Castellón, sets up every Sunday from 9am to 2pm in Plaza Mayor, Castellon de la Plana. It is the city's dedicated antiques market rather than a general street market, so the stalls are given over to antiques, old books and jewellery. Everything is outdoors and packed away by early afternoon.

What you'll find at Castellón Antiques Market

Three things fill the square: antiques, books and magazines, and jewellery. That narrow range is the point of the market, and it is what separates a Sunday here from the clothing and produce stalls at the city's other street markets in Castellon de la Plana. Card acceptance is not confirmed at any of the stalls, so carry cash if you plan to buy.

How to get to Castellón Antiques Market

The market fills Plaza Mayor, the central square of Castellón de la Plana, for the Sunday morning. It is open air throughout, with no covered section to shelter under. Dates and any changes are posted on the market's official page. Other markets across the wider area are listed on the province page.

Where to stay in Castellon de la Plana

Staying in City Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the antiques market and the main sights. The Hotel Intur Castellon is a solid central option with comfortable rooms and easy parking nearby.

If you prefer something a little quieter, the Grao de Castellon neighbourhood by the seafront is just a short drive away and gives you a relaxed base after a morning of browsing.

What day is Castellón Antiques Market?

Castellón Antiques Market runs every Sunday, from 9am to 2pm, in Plaza Mayor. Sunday is its only trading day, and the market is weekly rather than monthly, so it sets up on every Sunday of the year. Traders begin clearing the square towards 2pm, which makes the morning the time to come.

Does Castellón Antiques Market take cards?

Castellón Antiques Market has no card payment confirmed at its stalls, so bring cash to Plaza Mayor on a Sunday. Each dealer takes payment at their own stall and acceptance varies from one to the next, which is worth more thought here than at a produce market, since a single antique can run to a few hundred euros.

What can you buy at Castellón Antiques Market?

Castellón Antiques Market sells antiques, collectible books and magazines, and jewellery. Those three categories are the whole of what the Sunday stalls in Plaza Mayor carry, so it is a browsing market for collectors and second-hand hunters rather than somewhere to pick up clothes, produce or household goods.
