Feria Semanal de Arte y Artesanía de Xàbia
The weekly market in Jávea (Xàbia, in Valencian) is held every Thursday morning in Plaça de la Constitució and the adjacent streets of the old town, at the foot of the fortified church of San Bartolomé. From approximately 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the market features dozens of stalls offering fruits and vegetables from local farms, cheeses and cured meats from the Marina Alta region, pickles, olive oil, and honey, along with stalls selling clothing, shoes, basketry, and local handicrafts. Its location in the medieval heart of the town, amid rough-hewn stone houses and Gothic doorways, makes it one of the most picturesque sights on the northern Costa Blanca and a regular gathering place for both locals and the area’s large foreign resident population.

A little background
he weekly Jávea Farmers’ Market is part of the long tradition of open-air markets in the Marina Alta region, an area that has historically combined coastal fishing with inland agriculture and local trade among villages. The Plaça de la Constitució in Xàbia, at the foot of the 14th-century fortified church of San Bartolomé, has long been the natural setting for the social and commercial life of the old town.
Today, the Jávea Market has established itself as one of the liveliest weekly events on the northern Costa Blanca, featuring a strong presence of stalls selling artisanal goods and fruits and vegetables from the Marina Alta, as well as a cosmopolitan clientele closely tied to the large community of European residents who have settled in Xàbia in recent decades. It’s a must-see for tourists in the province of Alicante who want to discover the flavors and crafts of the Marina Alta every Thursday.
