Municipal markets in Baeza
The Baeza Food Market (Mercado de Abastos) on Calle San Francisco is the city's main indoor market, with around 25 stalls housed behind a colonnaded facade with Tuscan columns dating to the 1950s. Vendors sell fresh vegetables, fruit, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, bread and pastries, and locally pressed olive oil from the surrounding Guadalquivir valley. It opens Monday to Saturday from 9am, making it the most accessible of the three markets for a weekday visit, and it is the city's only covered market: see the municipal markets in Baeza for its full opening times. More information is available on the Baeza tourism website.
Street markets in Baeza
The Baeza Street Market sets up weekly along Calle Diego de Hoces from 8am to 1:30pm, with 25 stalls selling clothing, footwear and handicrafts. It is the largest outdoor market in the city.
The Baeza Antiques and Vintage Collectibles Flea Market runs separately, focusing entirely on antiques and vintage finds, and its stall count varies week to week. Check locally for its current location, as outdoor flea markets in smaller Andalusian towns occasionally shift pitch.
Between them the two cover a Tuesday and a Sunday, so there is an outdoor market at each end of the week. Days and hours for both are listed on the street markets in Baeza page.
Nearby Úbeda also holds regular street markets and is worth combining with a visit to Baeza, as the two cities sit just 9 kilometres apart.
What day is the mercadillo in Baeza?
Baeza's two street markets run on a Tuesday and a Sunday, which makes Tuesday the busiest market day in the city because the covered food market on Calle San Francisco trades that morning as well. The Sunday market is the quieter of the two, and it is the only market open in Baeza that day.
