Markets in Ugíjar
Granada, Andalusia
Markets in Ugíjar include one indoor municipal market and two weekly street markets, making this small eastern Alpujarra town a reasonable stop for local produce and regional crafts. The municipal market runs six days a week, while ExpoAlpujarra and the Ugíjar Fair each take place weekly outdoors.
Ugíjar sits in the eastern Alpujarra south of the Sierra Nevada, an area known for cured hams, almonds and olive oil. The Alpujarra Turística site has more on the town and surrounding villages.

Tours & Activities in Ugíjar
Municipal markets in Ugíjar
The Ugíjar Market is an indoor hall with around 15 stalls, open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 to 14:00. Stalls sell fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and bread and pastries, with most produce sourced from the surrounding Alpujarra valleys. Cash is the standard payment method.
Street markets in Ugíjar
ExpoAlpujarra is an outdoor weekly street market focused on handicrafts and prepared foods, giving visitors a chance to find locally made goods alongside ready-to-eat regional specialities. The stall count is not fixed, so the scale can vary week to week.
The Ugíjar Fair is a second outdoor weekly market with a similar offer of prepared foods and handicrafts. Both street markets reflect the craft and food traditions of the wider Alpujarra area rather than everyday fresh produce, which is better covered by the indoor municipal market.
