Environmental & Social
No environmental / sourcing data The small producers' aspect is a positive from a social perspective. Not over-commercialized
Conclusion
Alicante's central market is not too touristy and is a great option for those looking to stock on local produce and delicatessen. The architecture by itself warrants a detour and olive fans should definitely check out some of the stalls.
