Markets in Santa Pola and surroundings

On Mondays and Saturdays, on Avenida de Albacete: Mondays from 7:00 to 13:30 and Saturdays from 7:00 to 14:00, with some 420 stalls. On Saturdays there is also a food market beside the Mercado Central, and on Thursdays it is the turn of the Gran Alacant market. In July and August two night markets open every evening.

On Thursdays, from 8:00 to 14:00, all year round, on Calle Antoñita Sanchís Buades, next to the Aldi. It has almost 100 stalls: fruit, vegetables and other food, plus clothing, shoes, accessories, kitchenware and decoration. There is no market in Gran Alacant on Sundays; if you want a bigger one, Santa Pola market on Mondays and Saturdays has 420 stalls.

It depends on the day. Mondays and Saturdays it is Santa Pola market, on Avenida de Albacete; Saturdays, also the food market beside the Mercado Central; Thursdays, Gran Alacant. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays there is no morning market. In July and August the night markets open daily, from 19:30 to one in the morning. The week is set out on this page.

It opens at 7:00: until 13:30 on Mondays and until 14:00 on Saturdays. The Saturday food market runs until 14:30, and Gran Alacant, on Thursdays, from 8:00 to 14:00. The July and August night markets open from 19:30 to one in the morning. If the day falls on an official public holiday, the market does not set up.

Two, and you can do both. Santa Pola market, on Avenida de Albacete, from 7:00 to 14:00, with 420 stalls and the food section at full size: 80 stalls of fruit, vegetables, fish, cured meats and cheeses, against 20 on Monday. And the Santa Pola food market, some 50 stalls of local fruit and vegetables, from 7:00 to 14:30 beside the Mercado Central.

No: neither Santa Pola market nor Gran Alacant opens on Sundays. The one exception is summer: from 1 July to 31 August the Levante beach and Playa Lisa night markets set up every day, Sundays included, from 19:30 to one in the morning. There is no Sunday market in the neighbouring towns either; at the weekend, what is left is Saturday in Santa Pola.

From 1 July to 31 August, every evening from 19:30 to one in the morning. There are two, both craft markets: the Santa Pola night market, 30 stalls in Plaza de Castilla, on Levante beach, and the Playa Lisa summer night market, 20 stalls in Plaza Maestro Moisés Davia. 6.6 km away, the Arenales del Sol summer market opens on Tuesdays and Fridays from 18:00 to 23:00.

There is no flea market in Santa Pola or in Gran Alacant. At Santa Pola market the council does not allow used goods to be sold, apart from vintage clothing and antiques, and Gran Alacant is a weekly market of food, clothing and kitchenware. The markets in the towns next door — Arenales del Sol, El Altet, La Marina, Torrellano and Urbanova — are general ones too, not second-hand.
