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.
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.
