Its origins are documented on 29 May 1707, when the abbot of the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de la Valldigna granted the jurats of Tavernes official permission to hold a weekly market every Thursday of the year.<\/p>\r\n                <p>The original document also stated that, if Thursday coincided with a public holiday, trading activity had to be brought forward to Wednesday. Its purpose was clear: to organise supplies, concentrate the buying and selling of essential goods and provide farmers with a place to sell surplus produce from the huerta.<\/p>\r\n                <p>Over time, that market in the old Pla\u00e7a Major evolved into the present-day market on Passeig del Pa\u00eds Valenci\u00e0, keeping alive a trading tradition with more than three centuries of history.<\/p>\r\n              <\/div>\r\n            <\/article>\r\n\r\n            <article class=\"story-card\" id=\"mercado-playa\">\r\n              <figure class=\"story-thumb lightboxable\">\r\n                <img src=\"https:\/\/www.visitatavernes.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mercat-playa.jpeg\" alt=\"Summer street market on Tavernes de la Valldigna beach\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\r\n              <\/figure>\r\n              <div class=\"story-content\">\r\n                <span class=\"small-label\">Summer \u00b7 Beach<\/span>\r\n                <h3>The Summer Beach Market<\/h3>\r\n                <div class=\"data-box\">\r\n                  <strong>Day:<\/strong> Saturdays<br>\r\n                  <strong>Usual season:<\/strong> from 15 June to mid-September<br>\r\n                  <strong>Usual opening hours:<\/strong> de 17:30 a 22:00 horas<br>\r\n                  <strong>Location:<\/strong> Passeig dels Tarongers\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                <p>The Saturday street market on the beach was created to serve residents and visitors during the high season.

The aim was to prevent thousands of temporary residents from having to travel to the city centre for basic shopping.<\/p>\r\n                <p>Its stalls offer seasonal fruit and vegetables, local products, summer clothing, beach items, comfortable footwear, accessories and everyday items designed for life by the sea.<\/p>\r\n              <\/div>\r\n            <\/article>\r\n\r\n            <article class=\"story-card\" id=\"feria-marinera\">\r\n              <figure class=\"story-thumb lightboxable\">\r\n                <img src=\"https:\/\/www.visitatavernes.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mercat-artesa.jpg\" alt=\"August Maritime and Craft Fair on Tavernes beach\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\r\n              <\/figure>\r\n              <div class=\"story-content\">\r\n                <span class=\"small-label\">August \u00b7 Afternoon and Evening<\/span>\r\n                <h3>The August Maritime and Craft Fair<\/h3>\r\n                <div class=\"data-box\">\r\n                  <strong>Period:<\/strong> from the second week of August until the end of the month<br>\r\n                  <strong>Usual opening hours:<\/strong> afternoon and evening, from around 5:30 or 6:00 pm until midnight<br>\r\n                  <strong>Location:<\/strong> Avenida de la Marina and the area around Passeig dels Tarongers\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                <p>The Maritime and Craft Fair on Tavernes beach complements the daytime supply market.
