Ontinyent Sunday Market

Ontinyent Sunday Market sets up every Sunday from 9am to 2pm on the Recinto Ferial fairground, on Avinguda del Benicadell. Known locally as the Mercat del Diumenge, it runs 120 stalls selling clothing, footwear, antiques and fresh vegetables, and it packs away by early afternoon. It is the largest of the street markets in Ontinyent, one of several markets in the town.

What you'll find at Ontinyent Sunday Market

Clothing and textiles take up the biggest share of the 120 stalls, alongside footwear and leather goods: jackets, trousers, shoes and bags, priced for a weekly shop rather than a boutique.

The antiques stalls are the reason a lot of people come, with furniture, tools and decorative pieces changing hands week to week. Fresh vegetables fill out the rest, which is what makes this a practical Sunday morning stop as well as a browse.

How to get to Ontinyent Sunday Market

The market is at Avinguda del Benicadell, Recinto Ferial, 46870 Ontinyent, on the edge of the town and within walking distance of the centre. The fairground is open ground, so the whole market is outdoors with no cover. For questions about dates or a stall pitch, the organisers take enquiries by email. The province page lists what else trades nearby.

Where to stay in Ontinyent

Ontinyent is a compact town, so staying central puts you close to everything. The Town Centre is your best bet, with easy walking distance to the Sunday market and the old quarter. For a comfortable base, El Raval is a quiet residential area just a short stroll from the action.

If you prefer to book a specific property, Hotel Núria and Hotel Mont Sant are both well placed for a market morning, and searching around Ontinyent Centro brings up the rest.

What day is Ontinyent Sunday Market?

Ontinyent Sunday Market runs every Sunday, from 9am to 2pm, on the Recinto Ferial fairground on Avinguda del Benicadell. It is a weekly market with no other trading day, and it keeps the same hours through the year. All 120 stalls are packed away by 2pm, so the morning is the whole of it.

What time does Ontinyent Sunday Market open?

Ontinyent Sunday Market opens at 9am and trades until 2pm, a five-hour window once a week. The fresh vegetable stalls are at their best early, while the antiques and clothing traders stay busy through the middle of the morning. Nothing here trades on any other day, so a Sunday visit is the only one that works.

Do you need cash at Ontinyent Sunday Market?

Yes, carry cash to Ontinyent Sunday Market. Card acceptance varies from one trader to the next across the 120 stalls, and this is an open-air market on a fairground rather than a permanent hall with fixed tills. No stall here is confirmed to take a card, so cash is the only payment you can count on.
