Weekly Thursday market with around 40 stalls selling clothing, footwear, handicrafts and books on Ronda del Estero in San Fernando.
San Fernando Street Market (Mercadillo de San Fernando) runs every Thursday from 9am to 2pm on Avenida Ronda del Estero in San Fernando, Cádiz. Around 40 stalls line the tree-shaded avenue, selling clothing, footwear, handicrafts and books at bargain prices. The market currently uses this location while its usual spot in La Magdalena is under construction. Bring cash, as most stalls don't accept cards. Get there before 11am for the best selection, especially for clothing and footwear.
The market typically closes during the last three weeks of July when stall holders take their summer break.
What you'll find
Clothing and footwear make up the bulk of the stalls, with t-shirts, dresses, trousers and shoes at very affordable prices. You'll also find leather goods, handicrafts and a selection of books and magazines. It's a good spot to pick up everyday items without paying high-street prices. Prices start low and stall holders often run deals like 3-for-2 on clothing.
