Municipal Markets in Gandia
Valencia, Valencian Community · 1 municipal markets
Mercado del Prado is Gandia's municipal market, a covered hall on the Plaza del Prado where 25 stalls trade Monday to Saturday from 9am to 2pm. The counters run to fish and seafood, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, bread and bakery, and fresh fruit and vegetables, which makes it the closest thing the city has to a daily farmers market. The open-air weekly stalls are a separate affair, covered on street markets in Gandia.

Tips for visiting
Come in the morning. The hall closes at 2pm six days a week and the fish counters thin out well before then, so 9am to 11am is when the choice is widest. Stalls take cash, cards and mobile payments, and the building is wheelchair accessible throughout.
Where to stay in Gandia
Gandia Town Centre is the practical base for market mornings, since the hall is a short walk from the old town streets and you can be there for the 9am opening. If you are combining the market with the beach in summer, Gandia Playa is a short bus ride away, but shop before the 2pm close.
