Baeza Food Market

The stalls cover the daily essentials: fresh vegetables and fruit, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, bread, and olive oil pressed from olives grown in the surrounding Guadalquivir valley. It's a compact market, but one of the better spots in the city to pick up quality local produce. As one of the municipal markets in Baeza, it serves the local community day to day rather than catering to tourists, which keeps prices reasonable.

Baeza is a small Renaissance town, so staying central is the smart move. Old Town puts you within easy walking distance of the market and the cathedral square, and most of the town's best places to eat and drink are right on your doorstep.

For something with a bit of character, Hotel Palacio de Gallego and Hotel Puerta de la Luna are both well-regarded options in the historic centre. Either one gives you a great base for exploring the market and the surrounding Jaén countryside.

The market is at Calle San Francisco 10 in Baeza's historic quarter, within easy walking distance of the Cathedral, Plaza de España and the main tourist monuments. Street parking is available in the surrounding streets, though spaces fill up quickly on weekday mornings. Most accommodation in the historic centre is a short walk away.
