Municipal markets in Moncofa
The Moncofar Municipal Market is the town's only covered market, with stalls selling fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and bread and pastries. Being indoors, it is the dependable option in poor weather, and it carries the fullest selection of food of the three markets.
It is also the only one of the three you can shop at outside Saturday, which is what makes it the everyday option rather than the weekend one. See municipal markets in this city for opening details.
Street markets in Moncofa
Moncofa Street Market is the largest market in town, with 35 stalls in an open-air setting. It sells fresh fruit and vegetables alongside clothing, textiles and footwear, so it is the one to pick if you want general goods as well as food, since the non-food stalls trade in the same run as the produce.
El Grao de Moncofa Weekly Market sets up separately, in the Grao seafront area, and concentrates on food: fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. Between them the two cover most of what you would otherwise drive out of town for. Both are listed on the page for street markets in this city.
Visiting Moncofa's markets
Saturday is the most productive day to visit, as it is possible to combine a street market with a stop at the municipal market before it closes at 2pm. For more market options nearby, Nules and Burriana are both a short drive along the coast and hold their own weekly markets. Further local information is available on the Moncofa town council website.
What day is the market in Moncofa?
Saturday is the main market day in Moncofa, when all three of the town's markets trade at once: the covered municipal market and both street markets, the larger of which sets up 35 stalls. From Monday to Friday one market is open on any given day, and nothing trades on Sunday.
What time do the markets in Moncofa open?
Markets in Moncofa open at 9am and close at 2pm. That applies to the covered municipal market and to both street markets, so market shopping here is a morning job rather than an all-day one. On Saturday, when all three are trading, the same five-hour window applies to every one of them.
Are the markets in Moncofa open on Sunday?
No, none of Moncofa's three markets trade on Sunday. Saturday is the busiest day of the week, with the municipal market and both street markets open together from 9am to 2pm, and one market trades on each day from Monday to Friday. Sunday is the only day with nothing open at all.
What can you buy at the markets in Moncofa?
Markets in Moncofa sell fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, bread and bakery, and coffee and tea, plus clothing, textiles and footwear at the street markets. The 35-stall Moncofa Street Market is the strongest of the three for non-food goods; the covered municipal market is the one for food.
