The Pozo Alcón Municipal Market is a ground-floor indoor hall with 12 stalls, open on a weekly basis. The stall mix covers everyday essentials: fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. Its indoor setting makes it a reliable stop regardless of weather, and the compact size means you can cover everything in a single pass. If you are self-catering while exploring the Cazorla area, this market handles most grocery needs in one visit.
Street markets in Pozo Alcón
The Monday Market is the larger of the two street markets, running weekly with 100 outdoor stalls. It covers fresh fruit, vegetables, spices and herbs, meat and poultry, and prepared foods, and also includes organic produce. The scale makes it the most practical option for stocking up on fresh goods, and the prepared food stalls are worth a stop if you want a quick meal while browsing.
The Medieval Market of Pozo Alcón is a weekly outdoor event with a different character, focused on handicrafts, clothing, and prepared foods. Stall numbers vary by edition, but the craft and artisan focus sets it apart from the Monday Market's grocery emphasis. It is the better choice if you are looking for locally made goods or gifts rather than everyday produce.
Nearby Quesada and Cazorla also hold weekly markets if you want to extend your market itinerary across the comarca.
