Paiporta Municipal Market is an indoor food market on Plaça Cervantes in Paiporta, a town on Valencia's southern edge in the fertile Horta Sud comarca. Renovated in 2016, it has 25 stalls and opens daily from 9am to 2pm, seven days a week. The market is one of the municipal markets in Paiporta that became a symbol of the town's resilience after reopening on New Year's Eve 2024 following closure from the November 2024 DANA floods.
What to buy
All 25 stalls focus on fresh food. You'll find fruit and vegetables from the surrounding Horta Sud farmland, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and freshly baked bread. Vendors here have served the local community for years. Arrive before noon for the widest selection.
