San Francisco Market
Jaén's oldest covered market, trading since 1875, with 25 stalls selling fresh produce, locally pressed olive oil, meat, fish and cheese. Open Monday to Saturday, 7am to 3pm.
San Francisco Market is Jaén's main indoor municipal market, set on Calle Álamos in the city centre and trading since 1875. Its 25 stalls are open Monday to Saturday from 7am to 3pm, closed Sundays. Jaén produces roughly half of Spain's olive oil, and that heritage shows up here: alongside the usual fresh produce you'll find bottles from local cooperatives that you won't easily source elsewhere.
What to buy
The stalls cover all the daily essentials: fresh vegetables and fruit, cuts of meat and poultry, fish and seafood on ice, cheese and dairy, and bread baked each morning. The olive oil stalls are the market's standout. Vendors stock oils from cooperatives across the province at prices that reflect the region's direct access to supply. Grab a bottle or two to take home. Arrive before 10am for the best fish selection and widest choice of seasonal produce.
