Beniaján Weekly Market
Every Friday, the Murcian village of Beniaján has its weekly street market near the Plaza de la Iglesia and San Francisco Street, right in the heart of town. Like the other street markets in the villages of Murcia’s agricultural region, it’s a local event intended primarily for the neighborhood. At its stalls, you can find fresh fruit and vegetables, food items such as candy, spices, herbal teas, and honey, as well as clothing, footwear, bags, and belts; household goods, home decor, and crafts; cosmetics; flowers and plants; and household and hardware items. It is a simple and functional market, not geared toward tourists, and is an integral part of daily life in Beniaján.

Get to Know the Market
A little background
he Beniaján street market is part of the extensive network of weekly street markets that the Murcia Town Council organizes across its districts, with a fixed day assigned to each one—in this case, Friday—and which the Department of Tourism, Commerce, and Consumer Affairs occasionally moves up to Thursday when it coincides with holidays such as Holy Week, to ensure a steady supply and avoid disrupting the business of merchants and residents. This organization stems from the agricultural tradition of the Murcian huerta, of which Beniaján —a town with centuries of its own history, which became the most important center in the region in the 16th century and experienced its heyday through the silk trade in the 17th and 18th centuries— is part of as one of its oldest districts
