From Shops in Benissa

Benissa is not just about sea and mountains; it is also a town with a commercial soul. If you take a stroll through its Historic Center or along the coast, you'll find everything from shops with a nostalgic flair to stalls that surprise you unexpectedly.

Here are three stops we recommend if you want to take home a memorable keepsake, or at least something meaningful:

1. The weekly market of Benissa

Every Saturday morning, the streets of the old town fill with fresh fruit, garden vegetables, honey, sausages, and freshly baked bread. It’s a great Saturday plan — shopping, walking, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, and soaking up the local atmosphere.

2. The Mercat dels Porxes

Held on the second Saturday of each month, it is even more special. No intermediaries, only farmers, artisans, and producers selling what they grow or create by hand. Everything is local, cared for, and at a fair price.

3. Benissa Alternative Fair

Once a year, Benissa is filled with workshops, talks, sustainable stalls, and activities for all ages. From music therapy for kids to handcrafted decorations or therapies beyond the ordinary. If you're here during its celebration, don’t miss it.
