Olvera Municipal Market

Around 30 stalls open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 2pm, selling fresh produce, meat, fish, cheese, and bread sourced from the surrounding Sierra de Cádiz countryside.

The hall is covered throughout and wheelchair accessible, which matters in a hillside town where the streets around it climb steeply. Stalls take cash, and most accept credit cards as well.
