Catarroja Weekly Market

Catarroja Weekly Market sets up three mornings a week on Plaza del Mercado in Catarroja, with 100 stalls selling fresh produce, clothing and footwear. It runs Tuesday from 8am to 2pm, Thursday from 7am to 2pm and Friday from 8am to 2pm, so Thursday opens a full hour before the other two. This is everyday shopping for the town rather than a tourist stop, and it is the largest of the street markets in Catarroja.

Fruit and vegetable stalls take up most of the square, alongside meat and poultry, bread and bakery counters, and cheese and dairy. Clothing and textiles stalls and footwear and leather traders fill out the rest, which is what makes this a full weekly shop rather than a produce market with a few extras.
