Summer evenings on the Costa Blanca are about much more than restaurants and beaches.
Across the region, many towns organise evening artisan markets, giving visitors the chance to browse local crafts, jewellery, handmade gifts and regional food after the hottest part of the day.
Unlike traditional morning markets, these events usually begin around sunset and continue well into the evening.
📍 Altea
Altea regularly hosts artisan markets around its historic old town and seafront during the summer months.
Expect:
🎨 Handmade jewellery
🕯️ Local crafts
🎁 Souvenirs
🎶 Live music on selected evenings
Walking through Altea’s whitewashed streets after sunset is an attraction in itself.
📍 Moraira
Moraira’s summer evening market is one of the most relaxed on the northern Costa Blanca.
Many visitors combine it with dinner along the marina before browsing the stalls.
Look for:
🧼 Handmade soaps
🎨 Artwork
🍯 Local products
📍 Jávea
Jávea’s promenade often comes alive during summer evenings with artisan stalls and local vendors.
Combined with live music and the sea breeze, it creates one of the area’s nicest evening atmospheres.

Guardamar regularly organises seasonal evening markets near the seafront during the summer.
