Where to go bargain-hunting on the Costa Blanca? Vintage and second-hand markets
Yes, the Costa Blanca has its regular flea-market crowd: between Benidorm, Alicante, Dénia and El Verger, the province lines up several regular flea markets and antique fairs, some with several hundred stalls. Here is where and when, town by town, verified and dated.
Which second-hand markets can you visit in Benidorm?
Benidorm has the most regular events. The Rastro El Cisne is held on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, at avenida de la Comunitat Valenciana 67: antiques, books, second-hand clothes and all sorts of items. The Mercadillo de Levante, in the Rincón de Loix district, is open Wednesdays and Sundays from 8am to 2pm, with more than 200 stalls. For more targeted vintage, the Retro Room shop offers a wide range of second-hand clothes in store, all week.
What about Alicante, Dénia, El Verger and Altea?
Each town has its own format. In Alicante, the area around Plaza de la Montañeta is home to several second-hand and vintage shops, mostly focused on streetwear and upcycled pieces; occasional vintage markets are also organised there in the city centre. In El Verger, the Sunday market on Vila Joiosa street brings together around 350 stalls (antiques, clothes, costume jewellery, bric-a-brac, plants and food), open from 9am to 2pm. In Dénia, there are two events: the Rastro de Denia, every Friday, at Explanada Torrequemada, and the Feria de Segunda Mano y Coleccionismo, on the first Sunday of every month at the Riurau de Jesús Pobre. In Altea, the Feria de Antigüedades holds occasional editions during the year, to check with the town hall depending on the season.
