Thursday Market of Vinaròs
Weekly Thursday market with around 40 stalls selling fresh produce, seafood, meat and clothing along Vinaròs seafront.
Thursday Market of Vinaròs, known locally as the Mercat del Dijous, is an open-air street market that sets up every Thursday from 8:00 to 14:00 along Passeig de Fora del Forat in Vinaròs. Around 40 stalls line the seafront promenade, selling fresh produce, fish, meat, clothing and bakery goods. Bring cash, as most stalls don't take cards. Get there early for the best selection, as popular items sell out well before closing time.
What you'll find
The market splits between food and general goods. On the food side you'll find fresh fruit and vegetables, locally caught fish and seafood, meat and poultry, and bread from local bakeries. Vinaròs is known for its langostinos, so keep an eye out for fresh seafood stalls. The other half covers clothing, textiles and everyday household items. It's one of two street markets in Vinaròs that run on Thursdays, with the neighbouring Mercadillo de Vinaròs focusing more on clothing and crafts.
