Markets in Granada Province

Granada province has 71 markets across 23 towns and cities, and they cluster hard at the end of the week. Saturday is the busiest day, with 29 trading, then Sunday with 25 and Friday with 21. Monday is the thinnest at 12. Five markets have no confirmed day on record, so 66 of the 71 have a day you can plan around.

The largest concentration is in Granada itself, with 11 markets. Motril and Almuñécar have five each, Armilla, Nigüelas, Órgiva and Salobreña four each, and Baza, Maracena, Loja and Ugíjar three each. The remaining towns run one or two, usually a single weekly morning. Each market's own page carries its address and its day.

Street markets and municipal halls

The other 11 are municipal markets, permanent halls rather than weekly set-ups. 09:00 to 14:00 is the most common window across both types, so a market visit here is something to build a morning around rather than an afternoon.
