Markets in Tavernes de la Valldigna

Tavernes de la Valldigna is a small town, so your best bet is to stay in the Town Centre, where you can walk to the weekly market without any fuss. The surrounding area along the coast is also worth considering, with Playa de Tavernes offering plenty of accommodation options just a short drive from town.

If you prefer more choice, the nearby city of Gandia has a wider range of hotels and is only about 15 minutes away.

The Tavernes de la Valldigna Weekly Market is the larger of the two street markets, with around 100 outdoor stalls. It covers fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, cheese and dairy, meat and poultry, and clothing, making it a practical one-stop outing for both food and everyday goods.

The Tavernes de la Valldigna Summer Night Market is a smaller seasonal one, set up outdoors once a week and focused on clothing and handicrafts rather than food, so it suits browsing after the heat of the day has passed. There are hundreds more markets across Valencia province.

The Tavernes de la Valldigna Municipal Market is an indoor market with around 15 stalls covering the core daily essentials: fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. The fertile Valldigna valley sits between the mountains and the coast, so locally grown citrus and vegetables are a particular strength at the produce stalls. There is more on visiting the town at the Tavernes de la Valldigna tourism website.
