Markets in El Puerto de Santa Maria

Basing yourself in the Town Centre is the practical choice, because all five markets are inside the one town and most do not open until 18:00, which makes walking back from an evening market easier than driving.

All five are street markets in El Puerto de Santa Maria, set up outdoors on their trading day and packed away the same evening. Between them the stalls cover fresh fruit and vegetables, bread and bakery, organic products and prepared foods, alongside handicrafts, antiques, books and clothing.

Because they are spread across the week rather than gathered in one hall, pick your day first and plan the walk second. The province page for Cadiz is where to look if you want to add a neighbouring town's market to the same trip.

Sunday is the busiest day, with three of the five markets trading. Tuesday has two, Monday and Wednesday one each, and Wednesday is the quietest of the trading days. Thursday, Friday and Saturday have no published market at all, which catches out visitors who assume Saturday is the market morning here.

The commonest hours are 18:00 to 00:00. These are evening markets, so do not turn up at nine expecting stalls to be out, and check the page for the one you want, since times vary.

If you are looking for a grocery store near your accommodation, the markets cover much of the same list on their trading days, and with three running on Sunday they fill the day most shops keep short hours. For Thursday, Friday or Saturday you will need a supermarket.
