About 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.
