Street Markets in Vinaròs

Across the two markets you'll find fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, and bread and bakery stalls, alongside the clothing, footwear and leather goods that fill the non-food end of a Spanish mercadillo. A few handicraft stalls sit among them. The food stalls are the ones that thin out first, so a shopper after produce and a browser after clothes want different arrival times.

Arrive before 10am for the best of the fresh produce, and to be finished before the middle of the day in summer. Bring cash, as many stall holders at these Thursday markets do not accept card payments. Traders begin breaking down ahead of the 2pm close, so the last hour is noticeably quieter than the first. Vinaròs sits on the coast at the northern edge of Castellón province, and other market days nearby are listed on the province page.

Staying in the town centre puts you within walking distance of Thursday morning trading, which matters when both markets close at 2pm and you would rather not be hunting for a parking space at eight. For something with more comfort, Hotel Roca sits close to the seafront and a short stroll from the main market area. A car is not needed for the markets themselves, though it helps if you want to reach other Thursday mercadillos along this stretch of coast.
