Street Markets in Garrucha
Almeria, Andalusia · 2 street markets
Garrucha runs two street markets, and they keep opposite hours. The Friday street market trades from around 8am to 2pm, while the night market opens at 7pm and runs until midnight, seven nights a week. Friday is the one day both are trading, so it is the day to come if you want to see the town's whole market scene in a single visit.

What you'll find on the stalls
The Friday market is the bigger of the two, with about 30 stalls, and it leans towards clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, and jewellery rather than groceries. Handicrafts, flowers and plants, and books and magazines fill out the rest of the pitches, and the night market covers much the same ground in a smaller, later form. Bring cash, as card acceptance varies from one stall to the next.

Tips for visiting
Come to the Friday market before 11am, since the stalls start packing up well before the 2pm close. The night market needs no such planning at 7pm, and both are within walking distance of the town centre and the port. Garrucha's markets are listed together on the city page, and the Almería province page covers the neighbouring towns if you are building a week around market days.
Where to stay in Garrucha
Staying in the Town Centre puts you a few minutes' walk from both markets, the waterfront and the fish auction the town is known for, which matters on Friday mornings when the streets fill up early. If you would rather be on the promenade, the Seafront has smaller hotels and apartments and is the easier base for the 7pm night market. You will not need a car for either.
What day is the street market in Garrucha?
Friday is street market day in Garrucha, when around 30 stalls trade from about 8am to 2pm. It is also the only day the town has two street markets running, because the night market opens that evening as it does every other, so a Friday visit covers both without moving on to another town.
Is there a night market in Garrucha?
Yes, Garrucha has a night market that runs every evening of the week, opening at 7pm and trading until around midnight. It sells much the same clothing, footwear, jewellery and handicrafts as the Friday street market, in a smaller form, and it is the town's only market on the six days when the Friday one is not trading.
What time do street markets in Garrucha open?
Garrucha's Friday street market opens at about 8am and closes around 2pm, while the night market opens at 7pm and trades until roughly midnight. Those are the only two street markets in the town, so on Monday to Thursday, Saturday and Sunday the 7pm opening is the one that applies.
Are street markets in Garrucha free to enter?
Yes, both of Garrucha's street markets are free to enter, the Friday morning market and the nightly 7pm one alike. You pay the stallholder directly for anything you buy, and card acceptance is patchy across the 30 or so pitches, so it is worth carrying cash for the smaller traders.
