Street markets in Catarroja
The Catarroja Weekly Market is the main event, with around 100 stalls spread across the town on a weekly basis. Shoppers can pick up fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, bread and pastries, and cheese and dairy alongside clothing and footwear. It is one of the larger weekly street markets in the Valencia province area and draws locals doing their regular food shop as well as visitors browsing the textile stalls.
The Catarroja Christmas Market runs weekly during the festive season as an outdoor street market, though exact stall numbers have not been confirmed. It offers a seasonal complement to the regular weekly market and is worth timing your visit around if you are in the area during December. For broader context on what to expect from markets across the region, the Ajuntament de Catarroja publishes local event information.
