Everything You Need to Know
A little background
he Wednesday Market (food) is located next to the Benicarló Central Market, a building constructed pursuant to the municipal resolution of May 18, 1965, featuring a 1,431 m² sales area and 36 permanent stalls, and has been renovated on several occasions (air conditioning in 1998, facades in 2000, automatic doors and flooring in 2001–2002). The weekly Wednesday street market emerged as a complement to the covered market, capitalizing on the influx of shoppers seeking fresh produce in this central area of the city.
