Weekly Wednesday markets in Alcantarilla


Weekly Wednesday markets in Alcantarilla

Fresh fruit and veg and a range of other goods at two Wednesday markets in Alcantarilla

For many expats and visitors, one of the great joys of shopping in Spain is the opportunity to buy fresh products and bargain clothes in the weekly local markets, which are awash with colour and noise as shoppers jostle for space, queue to be served, stand and chat, get in each other’s way and generally socialize as they go about the business of stocking up on food and picking out other bargains.

For newcomers, a couple of tips: don’t be scared to choose your own fruit and veg (otherwise you may be given the bruised items!), check that the amount you’re charged is related to the marked prices and look out for pickpockets. But that makes it sound as though the markets are simply a hotbed for petty crime: not the case at all, and the best advice of all is to bear these precautions in mind while rummaging, searching around and enjoying the organized chaos of the event!

In the municipality of Alcantarilla there are two markets, both held on Wednesday morning. One is known as the Mercado de Arriba, and is in the Campoamor district (Calle Pedro Pérez García, Calle Doctor Fleming, Calle Isabel la Católica and Calle Hernán Cortés), while the other is the Mercado de Abajo in the district of San Pedro (Calle Ramón y Cajal, Plaza Jara Carrillo, Plaza San Francisco, Calle Padre Damián, Calle Pepe de Santos, Calle Subida San Francisco).
