Markets in Miramar

Miramar is a small coastal town, so your best bet is to stay close to the centre where you can easily reach the local markets on foot. Town Centre puts you within walking distance of everything, and the beachfront area is a pleasant spot to base yourself too.

If you prefer a bit more comfort, look at options along Playa de Miramar where you'll find accommodation with easy access to both the shore and the town's market activity.

The larger of the two is the Miramar Summer Evening Market, with 50 stalls of clothing and footwear laid out in the open air. The second is smaller and adds handicrafts to the same mix, so the pair work as one twice-weekly shopping habit rather than two separate outings.

Nothing here trades in the morning, which is worth planning around if you are arriving for the day. Miramar sits on the coast in Valencia province, and nearby towns such as Oliva and Gandia also hold weekly markets if you want to extend a market itinerary along this stretch of coast.

Both markets are held outdoors, so checking local weather before you go is worthwhile, particularly outside the summer season. For official tourism information about Miramar and the surrounding area, the Turisme Comunitat Valenciana website is a useful starting point for planning your trip.

Miramar's street markets trade on Mondays and Thursdays, so there is a market in the town twice a week. Both of the town's two markets keep the same pair of days, and both are evening markets, with stalls up from around 5.30pm rather than the morning start common at Spanish mercadillos.

Markets in Miramar usually open at about 5.30pm and close at around 10pm. Both street markets keep those hours on their Monday and Thursday trading days, which leaves the whole day free for the beach and puts the clothing, footwear and handicraft stalls in the cooler part of the evening.

Miramar has two markets, both of them weekly street markets. The larger is the Miramar Summer Evening Market with 50 stalls of clothing and footwear, and the smaller one adds handicrafts to that mix. Neither is a covered municipal hall, so both set up outdoors and pack away the same night.

No, neither of Miramar's street markets trades on a Sunday. Both run on Mondays and Thursdays only, from around 5.30pm until 10pm, and the town has no municipal market hall opening at the weekend. If you are here on a Sunday, the neighbouring coastal towns are the place to look instead.
