The Costa Blanca, with its enchanting azure seas and Mediterranean charm, offers a wealth of bustling markets that are not only a feast for the eyes, but also a chance to experience the local culture. So, put on your step shoes and let me take you on a market adventure along the coast!

Monday Market

On Mondays, it's time to enjoy the markets in Denia, Elche and d'en Sarria. Here you can find everything from juicy oranges to beautifully handmade leatherwork. The smell of fresh fruit mingles with the lively sound of bargaining. Don't forget to score a pair of leather sandals or a colourful summer dress!

Tuesday Delicatessen

Tuesday is all about culinary discoveries in Altea, Villajoyosa and La Cala. These markets are like a gastronomic journey through the region, with local cheeses, olives and artisan breads. And for the sweet tooth among us, there are the delectable fresh-baked churros!

Wednesday Treasure Hunt

Wednesday is the day for a treasure hunt in Calpe, where you can search for antique finds, from vintage jewellery to rare books. Don't forget to take a photo with the breathtaking view of the Peñón de Ifach in the background.

Thursday ambiance

Thursday takes us to San Fulgencio, Benferri and Benidorm, where unique trinkets await, such as hand-painted pottery and colourful scarves. And who knows, you might even find a traditional flamenco dress for your next dance party!

Friday Finds

On Fridays, the famous ‘rastro’ (flea market) in Polop and Guardamar offers you all kinds of finds, from vintage vinyl records to retro sunglasses. And don't forget to enjoy a refreshing horchata while you browse around.
