Get to Know the Market
A little background
he flea market has been held in this part of Carrús for decades—a neighborhood with a strong commercial and industrial tradition (historically linked to the footwear industry) and one of the most densely populated areas in Elche. Although it shares its name and location with the permanent market in Plaza de Barcelona—whose origins date back to 1967–1970— the street market itself has traditionally functioned as an open-air extension of that commercial activity, stretching along Ausiàs March and nearby streets such as Ginés García Esquitino and Olegario Domarco Seller.
The most significant event in its recent history came with the renovation of Ausiàs March Avenue itself, approved by the Elche City Council as part of a plan to modernize the Carrús neighborhood. The construction project—with an investment of 411,400 euros—included the renovation of sidewalks and the roadway, new street furniture, trees with drip irrigation, and updated lighting.
