Priego de Córdoba Flea Market

Two things fill the square: antiques and handicrafts. The antiques side is what gives the market its rastrillo name, and the handicraft stalls sell work made by sellers from the town and the surrounding Subbética. Five hours is a generous window for a market this size, so there is no need to arrive at nine to see everything.

Staying in the historic centre puts you close to everything, and Priego de Córdoba is compact enough to walk to the flea market from most places in town. Try Casco Histórico for easy access to the market and the town's beautiful baroque fountains and churches.

If you prefer a specific property, Hotel Rafi is a solid, well-located choice that gets good reviews from visitors exploring the area. Either way, you won't need a car once you're in town.

Plaza del Castillo sits in the centre of Priego de Córdoba, walkable from anywhere in the old town, and the whole of Córdoba province reaches it by road via the province page listings. Because the market is outdoors with no covered hall, weather affects it in a way it would not affect a market hall. The town's tourism office publishes the market's dates on its official page, worth a check before a trip made specifically for it.
