Palma del Río Ecological and Local Market

Palma del Río Ecological and Local Market is an open-air farmers market in Palma del Rio, Córdoba, that sets up every Friday from 9am to 2pm. It is a single-morning market built around one thing: ecological produce grown in the surrounding countryside and sold direct by the people who grew it.

About Palma del Río Ecological and Local Market

This runs weekly rather than monthly or seasonally, so the Friday slot is the same every week of the year. Five hours is the whole window, and the middle of the morning is the busiest stretch, once the fruit and vegetable boxes have been unpacked. There is no covered hall, so the stalls pack away on the dot at 2pm.

It is run in connection with the town's tourism office, and it sits alongside the other street markets in Palma del Rio if you are in town on a different day.
