Just a 10-minute walk from our apartments, the Saturday market in Playa Flamenca is more than a place to shop. It’s a celebration of local life on the Costa Blanca.

Among colorful stalls and the buzz of conversation, you’ll find fresh produce straight from local farms in Murcia and Costa Blanca. Juicy tomatoes, ripe melons, sun-kissed oranges, and fragrant herbs. Taste olives straight from the barrel, pick up homemade cheese, and chat with friendly vendors who know exactly where everything comes from.

But it’s not only about food. You’ll also discover handmade pottery, leather goods, woven textiles, clothing, accessories, plants, and beautiful Mediterranean-style home decor.

Shopping here is a ritual, a weekly moment to slow down, connect with others, and enjoy life. You take your time. You talk to people. You live the moment. That’s the Mediterranean way.

Why do we love it? Because it’s local, fresh, full of energy, and part of everyday Spanish life. It’s not just about buying. It’s about being present.

A few tips for your visit

✔️ Come early to find the best produce

✔️ Bring cash, as many vendors prefer it

✔️ Try the churros or fresh orange juice

✔️ Greet people with a smile and a friendly Hola

Experience the true charm of Costa Blanca, one market morning at a time.
