L'Alcúdia has six markets in total, making it well served for a small town in Valencia's Ribera Alta comarca. The Alcúdia Sunday market draw and the broader weekly circuit cover fresh produce, seafood, clothing, crafts, and more across both indoor and outdoor settings. The town sits between Alzira and Algemesí in the heart of Valencia's orange-growing country, and that agricultural identity shows up clearly in what the markets sell.
Staying in town centre puts you within easy walking distance of the local markets and the main streets where most of the action happens. It's a small, relaxed town, so you won't need a car to get around once you're based centrally.
If you prefer a bit more comfort, look for accommodation along the outskirts towards the rice fields area, where some rural guesthouses offer a quieter stay while still keeping you close to town. Either way, L'Alcúdia is compact enough that nowhere feels too far from the market action.
