All Street Markets in Chiclana de la Frontera
Planning your visit
All six markets sit within Chiclana de la Frontera itself, reachable from the town centre without leaving the municipality. Check the individual market page for the exact address, since the gap between a daytime market and one opening at 20:00 is more than half a day. Bring cash, as card acceptance varies from stall to stall. The Cadiz province page covers what else is within driving distance.
Where to stay in Chiclana de la Frontera
