Get to Know the Market
A little background
rbanova is a coastal community located south of Alicante, between the Fondó de Elche Natural Park and the Mediterranean Sea, with a large community of summer residents and domestic and international tourists. The Urbanova Summer Street Market was created to meet the seasonal demand in this area, concentrating activity during the warmer months with an afternoon and evening schedule that allows shoppers to enjoy their shopping in pleasant temperatures. The Alicante Town Council authorizes its operation every summer under the ordinance governing non-permanent sales, and the stalls selling clothing, accessories, and food have turned this Thursday event into a summer tradition in the southern part of the city.
