Market stalls at Paseo de la Libertad in Torrevieja

Wednesday - La Mata Very easy to find with around 250 stalls. Travel on the N332 past Torrevieja and as you leave La Mata, which is at the north end of Torrevieja, you will see the market on the right hand side of the road. You will need to turn off the N332, enter La Mata and find parking on the side of the road

Wednesday - San Miguel de Salinas A wonderfully local market. Full of Spanish people buying their vegetables and is less geared to tourists

On leaving Dreamhill, by the bottom exit, turn left towards the toll road. Pass around the roundabout under the toll road and head towards San Miguel and Orihuela. This road passes through the edge of San Miguel de Salinas and you will need to turn off to enter the town. We use the last exit (The one at the top of the map linked below) which brings you onto the main street. Park in one of the side streets around Quevedo (No 70 on the map) and the market is around the area of Plaza Jaime

Once you are in the right area it is easy to find by walking towards the people who are carrying plastic bags

Friday - Torrevieja Torrevieja has a large market of around 1200 stalls, located in the street called Salinero Calle

Leave the N332 at the "Park of Nations" exit. Turn right to go into Torrevieja, but at the next roundabout (only 50 yards) turn left. You will pass the old windmill that has lost its sails and come to a set of traffic light, with a petrol station on your left, on the old Alicante road that leads up to the obelisk. The market starts in the streets right in front of you

Either turn left onto the old Alicante road and park, or cross it and turn off into the side streets to look for a parking space
