Calpe Market

Every Saturday of the year, from 8:00 to 13:30. If the Saturday falls on a public holiday it moves to the previous working day; during the October fiestas, to the Friday or the working day before that week.

In two areas of the same market. Clothing and non-food goods are on Avenida de Rumanía, closed to traffic while the market is on; the food section is in the Calle Petit car park, next to the old town.

Around 169 stalls between Avenida de Rumanía and Calle Petit.

New goods, across several trades:

• Clothing and shoes: men's, women's and children's fashion, sportswear and swimwear, lingerie, footwear, bags and costume jewellery.

• Home: household textiles, crockery and porcelain, small decorative items, plants and flowers, cleaning products.

• Food: cured meats, preserves, pastries, churros, and fresh fruit and vegetables in the Calle Petit section.

Most payments are in cash, though some stalls take cards or Bizum.

They are two different markets. Calpe market is on Saturdays, on Avenida de Rumanía, and sells new goods: clothing, shoes, food and household items. The Calpe flea market is on Wednesdays, on Avenida del País Valencià, and deals in second-hand goods, antiques and collectables. Different day, different place, different trade.
