What days are the markets on in Benidorm?
Foietes — the big one
Wednesday and Sunday mornings, roughly 8am to 1:30pm. Stalls pack up from around 1pm, so arrive before midday for the full experience.
The Rastro — flea market
Typically Sunday mornings only, in the same window. Smaller, more second-hand and bric-a-brac than Foietes.
