Markets in Puente Genil
Cordoba, Andalusia · 3 markets tracked
Puente Genil has three markets: two street markets and one indoor municipal market, all within the same town in the Genil river valley. Between them they cover six days of the week, so on almost any morning except Sunday there is somewhere in town to buy fruit, vegetables, fish or clothing. This is a working market town in Cordoba province rather than a tourist stop, and the trading hours reflect that: most stalls open at 9am and pack up at 2pm.
Friday is the fullest day, with two of the three trading at once. Monday to Thursday and Saturday each have one market open, and nothing trades on a Sunday. One of the three has no fixed day confirmed, which is worth checking before you plan a trip around it.

Municipal markets in Puente Genil
The town has one municipal market, an indoor hall of about 25 stalls that works as the everyday food shop for the centre. It is the most dependable of the three for fresh produce, since the counters keep the same 9am to 2pm hours through the week rather than appearing on one morning only. If you want fish, meat, bread and cheese under one roof rather than walking a line of outdoor stalls, this is where to go. See the municipal market in Puente Genil page for the location and trading days.
The official Puente Genil tourism site has practical information on reaching the town and local events.
Street markets in Puente Genil
Two of the town's three markets are outdoor street markets, the kind locals call a mercadillo. The larger is the Puente Genil Weekly Market, at around 90 stalls the biggest trading pitch in the town. The mix leans towards clothing, footwear, jewellery and handicrafts alongside the fruit and vegetable stalls, and trade finishes around 2pm, so an early start gets you the produce before it thins out. Full details for both are on the street markets in Puente Genil page.
