El Raal Street Market
The El Raal street market is held every Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Cruce del Raal, in the heart of Murcia’s agricultural region, about ten kilometers east of the capital. It is one of the leading weekly street markets in the Murcian districts and brings together residents from the town itself and nearby towns such as Alquerías, Beniel, Santa Cruz, and Llano de Brujas every week. Among its stalls, you’ll find fresh fruit and vegetables from Murcia’s agricultural region at affordable prices, along with cured meats, nuts, roasted chickens, and churros, as well as a wide selection of clothing, footwear, bedding, jewelry, accessories, cosmetics, and secondhand items. With easy access from the Alicante highway and parking nearby, the Raal Street Market is an ideal way to spend a Sunday morning: supporting local businesses, enjoying the laid-back rural atmosphere, and taking a stroll with the family.

Get to Know the Market
A little background
l Raal is a hamlet with centuries of agricultural tradition: its earliest documented references date back to 1257 and 1271, and its history has always been linked to the Segura River and the irrigation canals that water the farmland. This legacy as a productive agricultural region explains why local commerce is an integral part of the village’s identity. The current Sunday street market at the Cruce del Raal opened in December 2016, with the aim of providing the eastern part of the Murcian agricultural region with its own weekly street market held on a holiday, and in just a few years, it has established itself as a regular event for both region-based street traders and local families, who combine their daily shopping with the very Murcian custom of “going to the street market” on Sunday mornings.
