Market Days in the Costa Blanca South: Algorfa, Rojales, Torrevieja & Beyond

There’s something magical about strolling through a Spanish street market on a sunny morning — the smell of fresh bread, the colourful stalls piled high with fruit and vegetables, the cheerful calls of vendors selling everything from local cheeses to handmade baskets.🛍️

Here in the Costa Blanca South, we’re spoiled for choice! Whether you’re in Algorfa, Benijófar, Rojales, Campillo de Guardamar, El Zoco, Almoradí, Playa Flamenca or Torrevieja, there’s a market to explore almost every day of the week.

At Casas Connect, we believe these markets are more than just shopping spots — they’re the beating heart of the community, and a big reason why so many people fall in love with living here. 🏡💛

🗓️ Local Market Days You’ll Love

Here’s our guide to the must-visit markets in the Vega Baja and nearby coastal towns:

🛒 Sunday – El Zoco Market (San Miguel de Salinas / Quesada area)
One of the liveliest in the area, packed with stalls selling clothes, jewellery, home décor, fresh produce, and even plants for your garden.

🛒 Monday – El Campico de Guardamar Market
A smaller, friendly market perfect for picking up local fruit, vegetables, and cheeses without the big crowds.

🛒 Tuesday – Almoradí Market
Renowned for its fantastic selection of fresh produce and local crafts — plus it’s a great place to stop for a coffee and people-watch.

🛒 Tuesday – Benijófar Market
Charming and walkable, with a good mix of fresh produce, artisan products, and household items. It’s a lovely way to spend a sunny morning.

🛒 Wednesday – Algorfa Market
Small but charming, right in the village. Perfect for a relaxed midweek shop and a chat with friendly vendors.

🛒 Thursday – Thursday Street Market in Rojales
A long stretch of stalls with everything from fashion to fruit. Don’t miss the churros stand!

🛒 Friday – Torrevieja Market
Bustling and busy, this is the place to stock up on beachwear, souvenirs, and freshly baked pastries.

🛒 Saturday – Playa Flamenca Market
One of the largest markets in the area, with a huge variety of goods — ideal if you want to combine shopping with a day by the sea.

🌿 Why Locals Love the Markets

Markets here are not just about shopping — they’re about community and connection. You’ll bump into neighbours, discover seasonal produce, and maybe even pick up a few words of Spanish along the way.

Many people moving here from abroad find that shopping at markets is part of settling into Spanish life — it’s slower, more personal, and a lot more fun than a quick supermarket run.
