Market days in Peñíscola
Monday carries three markets and is the only day the 25-stall market on Avenida Akra Leuka is up. Tuesday through Sunday each carry two, so something is almost always trading, but the choice narrows and the emphasis shifts to artisan stalls after Monday lunchtime.
Street markets in Peñíscola
The largest is Peñíscola Street Market, with 25 stalls on Avenida Akra Leuka near the south beach, running Monday mornings from 09:00 to 13:00. That is the one to plan a morning around: it is the only market in town at full size, the only one that trades in daylight hours, and the castle is a few minutes' walk from the same street.
The other three run in the evening, the commonest hours across the town being 18:00 to midnight, and they lean on handicrafts and jewellery rather than everyday clothing. One of the four has no confirmed trading day in our records, so check locally before making a special trip for it. The grid of street markets in this city lists each one with the days and hours we hold.
