Where to stay in Torrent
Torrent sits just southwest of Valencia city, so staying in City Centre puts you close to the local markets while keeping things affordable compared to the capital. If you want easy access to both Torrent and Valencia, look for accommodation near the metro line that connects the two.
For a comfortable base, Torrent Centro works well for most visitors, with plenty of hotels and easy transport links. If you prefer to stay in Valencia itself and day-trip to Torrent, the journey takes around 20 minutes by metro, so that is a practical option too.

Market days in Torrent
At least one market trades on every day of the week in Torrent, so there is no day you can arrive and find nothing running. Saturday is the busiest, with three of the four trading, and every other day of the week carries one.
Times are consistent across all four: they open at 8am and pack up at 2pm, which is standard for outdoor markets in this part of Valencia. Traders start breaking down before the closing hour once stock thins out, so the last half hour is unreliable for fresh produce, and arriving before noon gets you the full run of stalls.
For more market options close by, the Paiporta and Catarroja markets are both within easy reach and run on weekly schedules.
Street markets in Torrent
All four of Torrent's markets are street markets, set up outdoors and packed away the same morning, and there is no covered municipal market hall in the town. The largest, Sant Gregori Market, runs 190 stalls, which puts it among the bigger weekly markets in the province and well beyond what a town of Torrent's size usually supports. The smallest carries around 40 stalls, so the scale you get depends a good deal on which day you come.
Two of the four are general markets built around clothing, footwear and fresh produce, which is the standard Valencian mix. The other end of the range is a market given over entirely to local and organic growers, selling organic products, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and bread and bakery goods rather than the clothing rails that dominate elsewhere. That is the one to aim for if you came looking for a farmers market rather than a general one.
The full list, with stall counts, days and locations for each, is on the street markets in Torrent page.

What time do the markets in Torrent open?

Is there a farmers market in Torrent?
Yes, Torrent has a market dedicated to local and organic agriculture, the only one of its four street markets given over to food rather than a general mix. It sells organic products, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and bread and bakery goods direct from growers, which sets it apart from the town's two large clothing and produce markets.
