Carcaixent Street Market
Weekly Tuesday market with around 25 stalls selling clothing, footwear, leather goods and handicrafts on C. Miguel Paredes.
Mercadillo de Carcaixent is a weekly open-air market that sets up every Tuesday from 9am to 2pm on Calle Miguel Paredes in Carcaixent, Valencia. Around 25 stalls line the street, selling clothing, footwear, leather goods and handicrafts. The market is cash only, so bring euros with you. Get there early for the best selection, as stalls start packing up well before closing time.
What you'll find
The stalls focus on clothing and textiles, with a good range of footwear and leather goods alongside handmade crafts. You'll find everyday basics at bargain prices plus seasonal items that rotate throughout the year. Carcaixent sits in La Ribera Alta, one of Valencia's prime orange-growing areas, and while this is mainly a non-food market, the town's municipal market on Carrer de Ramón y Cajal covers fresh produce if you want to combine both visits.
