Markets in Montcada
Valencia, Valencian Community
The mercadillo de Moncada actually refers to two separate weekly markets, not one. Montcada, a town on the L'Horta Nord plain just north of Valencia, runs Can Sant Joan Market for fresh food and Moncada Street Market for clothing and crafts, each operating on its own day.

Where to stay in Montcada
Montcada is a small town just north of Valencia city, so your best bet is to stay close to the centre where you can easily reach the local markets on foot or by a short bus ride. Try Town Centre for the most convenient base, or consider L'Horta Nord if you want a slightly wider choice of accommodation while still being just minutes away.
If you prefer more options, staying in nearby Valencia city works well too. El Carmen puts you close to transport links that connect you to Montcada quickly, and you'll have plenty of restaurants and cafes to enjoy after your market visit.

Can Sant Joan Market is the larger of the two, with around 30 stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. It runs weekly and is the go-to stop for anyone wanting locally sourced produce in the area.
Moncada Street Market sets up with around 25 stalls focused on clothing, footwear, and handicrafts. It also runs weekly and operates outdoors, making it a practical option for everyday shopping alongside the food market. Cash is the standard way to pay at both markets.
