Shopping in Alicante

Shopping in the city of Alicante can make a fun filled day or, like many places in Spain, it can be a leisurely activity which runs well into the evening. There are many cafes and bars along the way. Reserve a car hire in Alicante to get around town on your fun filled day exploring the shops.

Alicante offers the full spectrum shopping experience. You can find specialty shops offering local handmade crafts, visit some of the many craft markets scattered around the city or pick up some designer wears for your big night out. Alicante will seem to have every kind of shop you can imagine, there is even a shop completely dedicated to carnivals!

Take your Alicante rental car over to the Explanda d'Espanya for inexpensive souvenirs.  Here you will find market stalls all along the way which sell beads, clothing, flags, and other tourist items.

For more of a cultural experience check out the city's main market, the Mercado Central de Alicante, where all the local shops are. Take your Alicante rental car down the Rambla de Mendez Nunez then turn west on the Avenue de Alfonzo El Sabio. The market stays open late into the afternoon on most days.

Split into two levels, here you can find all the fresh meat, seafood, cheeses, fruit and vegetables you can imagine. Exit the market through the back and check out the flower sellers, situated there in a small outdoor square.
