Markets in Cuevas del Almanzora
Almeria, Andalusia · 3 markets tracked
Cuevas del Almanzora runs three weekly street markets, spread across the town itself, the inland settlement of Guazamara and the coastal village of Villaricos. Between them they trade on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, usually from 8am to 2pm, so there is a market somewhere in the municipality three mornings out of seven. All three are outdoor markets, and the stock leans towards clothing, footwear and handicrafts rather than food.

Where to stay in Cuevas del Almanzora
Staying in Town Centre puts you close to the local market action and within easy reach of the castle and main square. The town is compact, so you can walk to most things without any hassle.

Market days in Cuevas del Almanzora
The three markets are deliberately spread out, one each on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Nothing sets up on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday anywhere in the municipality, so a visit built around a market needs one of those three days. Opening is 8am and traders are gone by about 2pm, which is the standard pattern across this part of Almería.
Street markets in Cuevas del Almanzora
Villaricos Market is the largest of the three, with 25 stalls setting up outdoors each week within sight of the sea. Clothing, footwear and handicrafts fill most of the pitches, which makes it a reasonable stop if you are already working your way along the Almería coast rather than a reason to drive inland.
The Guazamara Friday market is smaller, around 10 stalls, but it is the one to pick if you want fresh fruit and vegetables, which the other two carry little of. The town's own market has the broadest range of the three, adding books and magazines to the usual clothing and handicraft pitches, though its stall count is not confirmed. Days, times and stall counts for each are listed on the street markets in this city page.
