Street markets in Baena
The Baena Weekly Market is the main draw, with 100 stalls set up outdoors each Thursday. It focuses on clothing and footwear, making it a practical stop if you need everyday wear at competitive prices rather than artisan or food products.
The Baena Night Market is a smaller affair at 40 stalls, running outdoors every Saturday evening. Night markets in Andalusia often have a more relaxed atmosphere than daytime equivalents, so this can be a pleasant way to browse in the cooler evening hours.
For general visitor information about the town, the Ayuntamiento de Baena is the official local source.
