Discover the very best of Mediterranean food at Mercado Central de Alicante and make the most of your visit by enjoying an aperitivo.

A visit to Mercado Central de Alicante, Alicante’s Central Market, will immerse you in the world of traditional, quality and gourmet food. If you’re a bit of a foodie or simply interested in eating well, you’re going to love this market. Worshipping fresh and quality produce, the stalls sell some of the best fruit from the Alicante huertas as well as produce from further afield. They are all defined, however, by two things: quality and variety.

There is nothing quite like browsing the more than 300 stalls with their colourful displays of fruits, vegetables, fish and meat, as you soak up the incredible atmosphere.

Today, the market is still a popular spot that provides fresh and quality produce to the people of Alicante.

The market features an eclectic blend of Art Nouveau and older architectural styles, and the large gabled roof is formed of different panels. The stalls are spread out over two floors and the large windows allow natural light to flood in. One of the elements defining the market is its rotonda, a circular building topped with a spherical dome positioned to one side of the main space.

Over time, the market has evolved to meet modern tastes, with many locals and visitors now enjoying an aperitivo during their visit. Alicante Central Market is the perfect place to spend time with friends and family, and sample some of the best Mediterranean produce.
