Brilliant market, great variety of foods all well presented with decent prices. Well worth the visit just to view it. The seafood section is particularly good and potentially free parking see my photos

On of Alicantes jewels. Enjoyed market, lunch with freshly prepared fish, beer and cava. Another spot here for enjoying drinks and tapas Bar central. We added also strawberries from the near fruit stand. This was Michelin experience in my taste.😃

You must visit Mercado in every single country. You can taste all the country has to offer in one small area. The best food, the best wine, the best sweets. It is a must when visiting every city in Spain.

Fantastic food market in the heart of Alicante. Head here for an authentic atmosphere and to buy some of the best food products of Spain. There's also a selection of small, friendly sit-by restaurants on the edges of the market.

There's no fish on Mondays and it's closed on Sundays.
Beware of the locals they tend to jump the queue a lot but some stands use tickets numbers so be vigilant otherwise you end up waiting your turn for ages.
Importantly most fish sellers are honest and gave me change back because i made lots of mistakes using the euros.
