A little background
a Hoya is a district of Elche located in the southeastern part of the municipal area, in the suburban zone near the airport, with a stable community of residents and traditional agricultural activity. La Hoya’s weekly street market follows the model of the neighborhood street markets that the Elche town council operates in the scattered settlements throughout the municipal area, providing residents living far from the city center with access to fresh produce and street vendors. The Elche Town Council’s ordinance on non-permanent sales regulates the conditions for authorization, and the traveling stalls that operate in La Hoya typically also serve other street markets in the Elche area and the Bajo Vinalopó region.
