Street markets in Huercal-Overa
The Huércal-Overa Monday Market is the larger of the two, with around 150 stalls spread across an outdoor site. Stall holders sell clothing and footwear alongside fresh fruit, vegetables and meat, so it works as a one-stop visit if you want both food and everyday goods.
The Thursday market is smaller and food-focused. Stall numbers are not officially listed, but it consistently draws sellers of fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. It is the better of the two if produce is your main reason for coming. Both are listed in full on the street markets in this city page.
Planning your visit
Neither market has indoor cover, so both are fully exposed to the weather. If you are exploring the wider region, Vera and Cuevas del Almanzora are nearby towns that also hold regular street markets and are easy to combine into a day out. For general visitor information about the town, the Ayuntamiento de Huércal-Overa is the official local source.
What day is the market in Huercal-Overa?
