Everything You Need to Know
A little background
he origins of the Summer Night Street Market in La Cala de Villajoyosa date back to the 1960s, when farmers and craftsmen from the region would come to the town of Villajoyosa/La Vila Joiosa to trade and sell their goods. As in so many other municipalities in Alicante, this street-vendor activity began as part of the agricultural calendar and livestock fairs, and over the generations it became one of the town’s most important social and economic gatherings.
With the arrival of the 21st century and the economic transformation of rural areas, the occasional market in Villajoyosa/La Vila Joiosa evolved: it gave way to large textile and footwear stalls, incorporated vendors from other provinces, and became professionalized under municipal regulations. Many of today’s market traders are third- or fourth-generation members of families that have been attending this event for decades, maintaining a direct link to the town’s commercial fabric.
Today, the Summer Night Street Market in La Cala de Villajoyosa retains that traditional charm while adapting to new trends: organic products, contemporary crafts, local cuisine, and a close relationship with consumers that large shopping centers cannot offer. The town council and the vendors’ association work together to preserve its traditional character right in the heart of Villajoyosa/La Vila Joiosa.
