Everything You Need to Know
A little background
enidorm is a unique example of urban growth on the Costa Blanca: it evolved from a small fishing village in the 1960s into one of the Mediterranean’s leading tourist destinations. Its weekly street market has been part of that transformation and is now a regular event for thousands of people every Wednesday. The Benidorm Town Council regulates itinerant sales through a specific ordinance and has been expanding the Foietes grounds to accommodate the demand for stalls. Its location next to the Guillermo Amor Sports Complex—named in honor of the local soccer player—resolved the capacity and parking issues the street market faced at its previous location in the city center and makes it easily accessible from throughout the region.
