Sagunto has two markets: a covered municipal food hall open Monday to Saturday, and a street market on Wednesday mornings that sets up in the town centre. Both trade from 08:00 to 14:00, so a market visit here is a morning errand rather than an afternoon one, and Wednesday is the one day of the week when both are open at once. Sagunto is around 30 minutes north of Valencia, which makes it a straightforward half-day trip below the Roman-era castle that dominates the skyline.
Staying in the old town, Sagunto Old Town, puts you within easy walking distance of the main market areas and close to the Roman theatre, which is worth a visit while you're here. For a reliable, comfortable base, Hotel Azz Sagunto is a solid choice with good transport links if you want to explore the wider Valencia region.
If you'd rather stay somewhere with more amenities nearby, the port district, Puerto de Sagunto, has a more modern feel and is well connected to the town centre by local buses.

Street markets in Sagunto
Sagunto's street market runs weekly at Plaza del Cronista Chabret and spreads into the surrounding streets, from 08:00 to 14:00. With 25 outdoor stalls it is the larger of the town's two markets, and it focuses on clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, handicrafts, and books and magazines rather than food. Market dates are confirmed on the Sagunto tourism website.

Weekly Wednesday market with around 25 stalls at Plaza del Cronista Chabret in Sagunto, Valencia. Clothing, footwear, handicrafts, and books from 8am to 2pm.
The town's indoor food hall carries around 20 stalls and covers the essentials for a household shop: meat and poultry, fish and seafood, bread and bakery, cheese and dairy, and fresh fruit and vegetables. It is the only place in Sagunto to buy fresh produce from a counter six days a week, since the street market deals almost entirely in non-food goods.
Being under a roof, it is a reliable option whatever the weather, and it draws a steady local crowd doing their regular shopping rather than a tourist one.

Sagunto's street market runs on a Wednesday morning at Plaza del Cronista Chabret, which makes Wednesday the town's busiest market day, since the covered municipal market trades that morning too. The municipal market is open Monday to Saturday, so any weekday morning in Sagunto will find at least one market open.
What time do markets in Sagunto open?
Markets in Sagunto open at 08:00 and finish at 14:00, the usual hours for both the Wednesday street market and the covered municipal food hall. Nothing here trades into the evening. Both sit close enough to the centre of Sagunto to combine in a single walk, which is what most Wednesday visitors do.
Are markets in Sagunto open on Sundays?
No, neither of Sagunto's two markets trades on a Sunday. The covered municipal market runs Monday to Saturday and the street market runs on Wednesday, so Saturday morning is the last chance of the week to shop, with the food hall's 20 stalls open from 08:00 to 14:00 as usual.
What can you buy at the markets in Sagunto?
