Peñíscola is on the northern coast of Castellón, in the Baix Maestrat, between Benicarló and Alcossebre.

What is sold at the Peñíscola markets

They are two markets with nothing in common. The Monday one is the big one, with 110 stalls, and its strong suit is cheap second-hand and vintage clothing: what is on offer changes every week and you have to dig through the piles. Around it there are trainers, bags and accessories, seasonal local fruit and vegetables, cured meats, cheeses, kitchenware and plants, and somewhere inside to get a drink. The Peñíscola hippie market is crafts: 20 stalls in the streets of the old town, open in the evening from June to September. If you are after cheap clothes, go on Monday; if you want a walk after the beach, the hippie one.

Getting there and parking

Peñíscola market sets up on Avenida Akra Leuka, in the Centro de Estudios car park, beside the Playa Sur. That car park is no use for leaving the car on a Monday: the council closes it to vehicles from 6:00 to 17:00 to set the market up and take it down. The hippie market is on Calle Calabuig and Calle Puertecilla, inside the old town.

Tips for going

The Monday market opens from 9:00 to 13:00. It is a short one, and from 12:00 the stalls start packing up. Take cash, because most stalls do not take cards. The council reserves the car park for "Mondays that are not public holidays": if the Monday is a holiday, do not count on the market. The hippie market opens from 18:00 to 23:00 every day of the season, June to September; outside those months it does not set up.
