Gran Alacant Market - History

On 27th November 2014 the new location for the Gran Alacant weekly Market opened for business. Previously in Calle Canarias in Gran Alacant, the new location for the Gran Alacant market was long awaited as it is a proper purpose built trading area, rather than the street market it had been for many years.
