Markets in Chiva
Valencia, Valencian Community
The Chiva market runs every Friday morning along Paseo Argentina, making it the town's main opportunity for everyday shopping. Around 30 stalls set up from 8am to 2pm, selling clothing, footwear, jewellery and books. Chiva sits roughly 30 km west of Valencia in the Hoya de Buñol valley, so the market also draws visitors passing through the area.

Where to stay in Chiva
Chiva is a small town, so your best bet is staying in town centre, where you'll be within easy reach of the market area and the main shops. If you'd prefer more options, the nearby city of Valencia is just 30 kilometres away and makes a comfortable base for a day trip out to Chiva.
For a local stay, check availability at Chiva centro to keep things simple and avoid any transport stress on market day. Booking early is worth it, as smaller towns like this have limited accommodation.

Street markets in Chiva
The Chiva Street Market is an outdoor weekly market with around 30 stalls concentrated along Paseo Argentina. Clothing and footwear make up the bulk of the offer, with jewellery and books rounding out the stalls. Most vendors work on a cash-only basis, so bring small notes and coins. Parking is available near the market area, and the market wraps up by early afternoon.
If you want more market days during the week, nearby towns are worth checking. Cheste and Torrent both have their own street markets on different days. The markets near me tool can help you plan a route across the comarca.
