Godella Direct Sales Market
A compact Saturday market in Godella's Plaça Ermita where local farmers sell fresh organic produce, honey, nuts and spices direct from l'Horta Nord.
Godella Direct Sales Market (Mercat de Venda Directa) is an indoor municipal market held at Plaça Ermita in Godella, a small town 7 km north of Valencia. Every Saturday from 9am to 2pm, around 15 stalls fill the square with seasonal fruit and vegetables, organic produce, local honey, nuts and dried fruits, and spices sold directly by farmers from the surrounding l'Horta Nord farmland. The market is wheelchair accessible and accepts cash and mobile payments.
About Godella Direct Sales Market
Launched in 2011 by Godella's town council, the Mercat de Venda Directa was set up to connect local growers directly with shoppers, cutting out intermediaries and supporting the agricultural heritage of the Valencian orchard belt. Because each producer sells their own harvest, you can ask about growing methods or get recipe tips for whatever is in season.
The market's 15 stalls make it an intimate affair, with a relaxed pace that runs through the morning. Browse all municipal markets in Godella or explore the wider range of markets across the Valencian Community.

The stalls focus on seasonal l'Horta Nord produce: tomatoes, peppers, leafy greens and root vegetables alongside stone fruit and citrus. You'll also find organic fruit and veg, local honey, nuts and dried fruits, and fresh herbs and spices. Stock up early as popular lines sell out before midday.

Where to stay in Godella
Godella is a small town just outside Valencia city, so your best bet is to stay in Godella town centre if you want to be close to the market, or base yourself in nearby Valencia and make the short trip out. The commute is easy by metro and gives you access to far more accommodation options.
If you'd rather stay local, look for guesthouses or rural-style stays in El Pouet, which keeps you within easy reach of the market without the noise of the city. It's a relaxed base that suits a day of browsing direct-sale produce.
