Alcantarilla Weekly Market
The Alcantarilla Weekly Street Market is held every Wednesday morning at the Alcantarilla Fairgrounds (Murcia), an open-air venue covering nearly 16,000 square meters in the Entrevías neighborhood, right in the heart of the town. With about 252 licensed stalls, it is one of the largest Wednesday street markets in the Murcia metropolitan area. The Alcantarilla street market is a traditional general goods market: fruit and vegetables from Murcia’s farmlands, food, clothing and footwear, household goods, home textiles, and general store goods. Anyone looking for a weekly street market in Alcantarilla or a Wednesday street market near Murcia will find their regular weekly stop here. Until 2020, the indoor market was spread across the neighborhoods of Campoamor and La Torrica. Since then, it has been concentrated at the Recinto Ferial, a location that the City Council ratified in May 2021 for safety reasons and to ensure access for emergency services. It’s best to arrive early and keep in mind that, on Wednesdays in May, the May Festivities require the market to be temporarily relocated to the parking lot on Avenida Santa Ana. Check the details before you go and take the opportunity to also visit the San Pedro and Campoamor market halls, which are open Monday through Saturday.
