Castellón Street Market

Monday is the only day it runs, which makes it the start-of-week shop for the neighbourhoods out along the ring road. Everything is outdoors at street level, and the site is wheelchair accessible. Cash works at every stall and many also take contactless cards and mobile payments, though a card reader is not something to count on. For the other days, see street markets in Castellón de la Plana.

Most of the 60 stalls sell clothing and textiles, from everyday basics to fabric by the metre, alongside footwear and leather goods such as shoes, belts and bags. The rest is fresh produce, seasonal fruit and vegetables sold loose by the kilo. It is a general mercadillo rather than a farmers market, so the produce counters sit among the clothing rails instead of in a section of their own.

Staying in the city centre keeps the Monday market within walking distance, and City Centre has plenty of mid-range options. The Hotel Intur Castellon is a reliable choice with easy access to the market area, while the Hotel Doña Lola sits closer to the old town.

The address is Ronda de Circunvalación 200, 12006 Castelló de la Plana, on the ring road that circles the city, so it is a walk out from the centre rather than a market you come across in the old town. For queries before you travel, the market number is +34 964 355 100.
