Mercadillo Calpe

CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE CALPE MARKET

Held every Saturday in the heart of the Valencian Community, it is much more than just a market: it is a true meeting of flavours, aromas and colours that connects us with the essence of our town. This weekly market becomes a meeting point, where generations, stories and traditions intertwine. All along the square, the stalls are filled with fresh produce, just picked from the garden. The weathered hands of local farmers proudly offer juicy oranges, deep red tomatoes, vibrant peppers and aromatic herbs that fill the air with natural fragrances. Here you can find native varieties, seasonal fruits and vegetables that reflect the rhythm of the land and the Mediterranean climate. Every Saturday, the market is transformed into a mosaic of colours: from the bright green of chard to the purple of aubergines and the gold of peaches. The flavours are intertwined with lively conversations in Valencian and Castilian, the laughter of neighbours and the greetings between those who have known each other for a lifetime. It is a place where the closeness to the land is felt in every exchange, in every chat about the week's crops, in every recommendation of traditional recipes. For those who visit, it is an experience that goes beyond shopping: it is a reunion with the countryside, with authentic flavours and with the rural life that beats strongly in this part of the Valencian Community. Here, a person can feel the pulse of the land, touching with their own hands the fruits of careful work and meeting those who so carefully cultivate each harvest. It is a reminder of how close one can be to the land, in a market like the one in Calpe.
