Oliva Street Market

Oliva Street Market sets up every Friday from 9am to 2pm along Passeig Rei en Jaume I in Oliva, in Valencia province. Around 30 stalls trade in the open air for those five hours, then pack away. Unusually for a market of this kind, the stalls take cards as well as cash. It is the town's weekly fixture, and it is listed alongside the other street markets in Oliva.

What you'll find at Oliva Street Market

Three things fill the 30 pitches: fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and clothing and textiles. That is the shape of the whole market, a produce shop and a wardrobe stop in one Friday morning, rather than a craft or antiques market.

How to get to Oliva Street Market

The stalls run along Passeig Rei en Jaume I, at number 5, 46780 Oliva, in the centre of town. There is no hall to find and no entrance to look for: follow the street and the stalls are the market. The site is listed as wheelchair accessible, which on an open-air pitch usually comes down to the surface underfoot.

You can find more practical information on the Oliva town hall website.

What can you buy at Oliva Street Market?

Where exactly is the Oliva Friday market?

Oliva Street Market sets up at Passeig Rei en Jaume I, 5, 46780 Oliva, in the centre of town. The stalls line the street itself rather than a covered hall, so the address marks the run of pitches rather than a door, and the site is listed as wheelchair accessible.

Can you pay by card at Oliva Street Market?

Yes, Oliva Street Market accepts credit cards as well as cash. That sets it apart from most Spanish street markets, where cash is the only option, though acceptance can still vary from one stall to the next, so carry some cash for the smaller purchases.
