Prado Market

Prado Market (Mercado del Prado, or Mercat del Prado in Valencian) is an indoor municipal market in Gandia, standing on Plaza del Prado in the city centre. The building dates back to 1933 and was recently transformed through a 2.1 million euro renovation, reopening with 13 gastronomic spaces, a covered interior plaza, and a programme of live music, showcooking sessions, and cultural events. Its 25 stalls trade Monday to Saturday from 9am to 2pm, the hall is wheelchair accessible, and traders take contactless and mobile payments alongside cash.

What to buy at Prado Market

The 25 stalls cover the full range of daily fresh produce: fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese, dairy, and freshly baked bread. The renovated gastronomic zone means you can also sit down for lunch or a coffee on-site after shopping. It is the main indoor option among the municipal markets in Gandia, and the covered interior plaza also hosts themed food events and weekend activities.

Where to stay in Gandia

Staying near the beach puts you close to Prado Market and gives you easy access to Gandia's seafront. Gandia Beach is a solid base, with plenty of hotels and apartments a short walk from the market and the shore.
