Top Things to do in Costa Blanca
What to do and see in Costa Blanca, Valencian Country: The Best Flea & Street Markets
Costa Blanca is the name given to Alicante's coastline in Spain, which stretches over 200 kilometers. It is an incredibly popular holiday destination for tourists, because of the marvelous weather and beaches. Costa Blanca is family friendly, thanks to the huge range of activities available there from beaches and golf to museums and parks. There are the beaches, such as Los Náufragos in Torrevieja with its volleyball nets, golden sands and Blue Flag status, or smaller beaches like Serragrosa with its crystal waters, ideal for swimmers. But there are also golf courses (particularly the Villaitana club de golf near Benidorm) and watersports facilities and cultural sites like museums and galleries, such as the La Asegurada Municipal Museum in Alicante which has extensive collections of Spanish art. You will need a couple of weeks on the Costa Blanca just to scratch the surface of its entertainment potential.

Market day is every Tuesday and is very popular and the number 10 bus will drop you a short walk to the market. There are plenty of stalls selling ladies,gents and children's clothes and shoes.Leather goods from handbags jackets and belts. Also a refreshment seating cafe for hot and cold drinks including snacks. This market is well worth a visit,but please note the food and veg market is at a different location in Altea.

Moraira market is every Friday morning, with stalls selling everything from fruit and veg to handbags to hardware. Parking is a bit of an issue, as the market is set up in the big car park but you can always find somewhere. The fruit and veg stalls are wonderful, and there is a 'pick and mix' style sweet stall. Don't miss the churro van - fresh churros sprinkled with sugar. It's packed in the summer months, so go early.

Best market in the area! Lots of space to walk around and lots of good place to eat with plenty of sitting areas. We got good authentic food and the fresh produce selection is better than the other markets nearby. There will be a line to get in by car, make sure to arrive from the side where you turn a right down to the market, otherwise you will be hanging in the line until someone lets you in.

a large market with a huge number of stalls for the time of the year (February). huge selection of fruits and vegetables at very low prices. definitely worth it if you cook in your holiday home yourself. clothing is as usual on such a market of various quality and also sometimes fake goods.

Should suit most people who like a market. But no veg or fruit. This is clothes & everything-else, PLUS the Flea market (Boot Sale). If you like boot sales, you will like this. As someone-else commented, some of it is tat, but aren't most Boot sales? It went for miles. I went 2 Saturday's in a row. The first week, there wasn't much Flea market. The second week, it was massive. It went on forever.
