Get to Know the Market
A little background
he origins of the Xàbia Artisan Easter and Gastronomy Fair date back to the late 19th century, when farmers and artisans from the region would come to the town of Xàbia to trade and sell their produce. As in so many other municipalities in Alicante, street trading emerged in tandem with the agricultural calendar and livestock fairs, establishing itself over the generations as one of the town’s most important social and economic gatherings.
With the arrival of the 20th century and the economic transformation of rural areas, Xàbia’s occasional market evolved: it gave way to large textile and footwear stalls, incorporated vendors from other provinces, and became professionalized under municipal regulations. Many of today’s vendors are third- or fourth-generation members of families that have been attending this event for decades, maintaining a direct connection to the town’s commercial fabric.
Today, the Xàbia Easter Arts and Gastronomy Fair maintains that popular essence while adapting to new trends: organic products, contemporary crafts, local cuisine, and a close relationship with consumers that large shopping centers cannot offer. The City Council and the vendors’ association collaborate to preserve its traditional character right in the heart of Xàbia.
