Markets in Alginet
Valencia, Valencian Community · 2 markets tracked
Alginet runs two weekly street markets and no covered municipal market, which makes the market week here short and easy to plan around. Both set up in the open air, both trade on Friday, and one of them also runs on Thursday. The usual hours are 7am to 2pm, so this is a morning errand rather than something to fit in after lunch.

Street markets in Alginet
Between them the town's two markets cover the two jobs a small-town market usually does. One leans towards food, with stalls selling fresh fruits and fresh vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, bread and bakery, and cheese and dairy. The other is the general goods market, and at 15 stalls it is the larger of the pair, running to clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, handicrafts, and books and magazines. Neither trades under a roof, so wet weather thins the stall count.
Full details for both, including where each one sets up, are on the street markets in Alginet page, and there are dozens more weekly markets across Valencia province within an easy drive. The Ajuntament d'Alginet site at alginet.es is the place to check before travelling, since it carries the fiesta-week and public-holiday changes this page cannot promise to hold.
What day is the market in Alginet?
Friday is market day in Alginet, when both of the town's street markets trade. One of the two also opens on Thursday, so the town has two market mornings a week rather than one. Neither market runs at the weekend, and both usually keep hours of 7am to 2pm.
What time do the markets in Alginet open?
Alginet's street markets open at 7am and pack up by 2pm. Traders start clearing before the stated closing time, so arriving before midday gives you the full 15 stalls of the general goods market and the best of the fruit, vegetable and fish counters at the food market.
Is there a general goods market in Alginet?
Yes, Alginet has a general goods street market of around 15 stalls, the larger of the town's two markets. It sells clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, handicrafts, and books and magazines, rather than groceries, which are the business of the town's separate food market.
Does Alginet have an indoor food market?
No, Alginet has no covered municipal market hall. Both of the town's markets are outdoor street markets, so fresh food here is bought from open-air stalls on a Friday morning rather than from permanent indoor counters. Nearby towns in Valencia province do have covered municipal markets.
