General Goods, Food, Fruit and Vegetables, Clothing and Footwear
he La Huerta Street Market opened in 1976, before the current La Frontera Market, and since then has served the La Huerta neighborhood as a local market, with a greater emphasis on fresh food compared to the somewhat more general goods profile of the town’s other market.
Petrer, together with neighboring Elda, forms an industrial conurbation in the Middle Vinalopó region that has historically specialized in footwear, and having two separate weekly street markets—one in La Huerta and another in La Frontera—reflects this dual urban and industrial fabric. The Petrer Town Council regulates itinerant sales through a specific ordinance published on petrer.es, with stalls awarded through a competitive bidding process.

The current ordinance (which repeals the previous one, dated August 5, 2005) implements Decree 65/2012 of the Valencian Regional Government and regulates the street market as a “periodic market”: authorizations are valid for 15 years, renewable once for the same period, and are awarded through a competitive selection process based on a 33-point merit scale, with 5% of the stalls reserved for disadvantaged groups and another 5% for new entrepreneurs.
There are currently no vendors with valid authorization in this market.
The list of vendors will appear here as soon as the first valid authorizations are granted.

Would you like to set up a stall at the Mercadillo La Huerta market, located at Petrer? To sell as a street vendor, you need a municipal street vending permit or license: this is issued by the town council, not the market itself, and typically requires that you be registered as a self-employed individual or a business, be in good standing with the tax authorities and Social Security, and have liability insurance that covers the stall.
Mercadillo La Huerta is held on Mondays. The exact fee is set by the Petrer town council; please check it before submitting your application.
Applications are submitted to the town council, usually online or in person, and may be granted directly (if there are open stalls) or through a public call for stall applications with a waiting list when demand exceeds the number of available stalls. You can download the municipal ordinance on street vending from Petrer (check the town council’s official website to make sure it’s still in effect, in case it has been updated).
Check the procedure on the Petrer town council website: https://www.petrer.es.
Leave us your contact information, and we'll forward it to the town council so they can let you know how to get your stall.
