Bocairent Market

The Mercat de Bocairent sits a short walk from the medieval old town and the Moorish caves carved into the cliff face. With 12 stalls it covers the full range: fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, bread and local honey. The honey here comes from the wildflower pastures of the Sierra Mariola natural park, which surrounds the town, and is worth picking up.

The market is fully wheelchair accessible and accepts cash, contactless and mobile payments. For a full list of municipal markets in Bocairent, or to explore the wider province, see markets in Valencia province.

The stalls stock seasonal fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, and fresh bread. Local honey is the standout product and a good buy if you're in the area. The selection is freshest in the morning.

Bocairent is a small town, so your best bet is to stay in or very close to the historic centre, where you can walk to the market and explore the medieval streets at your own pace. Historic Centre puts you right in the middle of things and keeps the trip simple.

If you prefer a rural feel, a few country houses and rural hotels sit just outside town and make for a peaceful base. Look into Rural Outskirts for that kind of option, and just keep in mind you'll want a car to get around easily.

The market is at Avinguda d'Espanya, 1A, Bocairent. By car from Valencia city, take the A-7 south and then the CV-81 into Bocairent. Street parking is available on Avinguda d'Espanya and nearby streets. Bocairent is around 70km from Valencia by road.
