In the province of Valencia, Spaniards head to the mercadillo on Sundays to meet friends and enjoy refreshing drinks.
And, of course, to buy groceries and household goods.
Rastro de Valencia
The largest market in Valencia is the flea market held on Sundays.
“Ugh,” you might say, “flea markets aren’t for us!” And you would be partly right.
But only partly, because you can still find very interesting things here! Yes, there are items that, personally, I would be embarrassed to sell. But since this market has been operating on Sundays for so many years, there must be demand!
And in general, flea markets are not only about broken goods — although those do exist, I won’t argue — but also about vintage items, unusual antique objects for decoration, and more.
The Valencia flea market is located in the Beteró area, in the Poblados Marítimos district, and it features about 520 stalls!
Mercadillo Playa de Canet de Berenguer
A fairly large and diverse market. Fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, pickled products, nuts, and baked goods dominate here.
You can also buy clothing, footwear, and textiles. It is located in a small town near Sagunto — Canet de Berenguer — on Calle Maximiliano Thous.
Mercadillo de Benaguasil
A traditional Sunday street market popular among locals — more than 200 stalls.
It is located in the town of Benaguasil on Calle Paterna. You can find many things here at good prices.
There is a large parking area and food stalls with tables, so why not visit this place on a Sunday?
