Quesada Weekly Market

Quesada Weekly Market sets up every Friday from 8am to 2pm on the explanada beside the health centre in Quesada, a hill town in eastern Jaén. Fifty stalls sell fruit and vegetables, flowers and plants, and clothing and textiles, which makes it a full morning's shopping rather than a quick stop. It is listed with the other street markets in Quesada.

What you'll find at Quesada Weekly Market

Fresh fruit and vegetables lead the market, with growers bringing in citrus and seasonal greens from the surrounding countryside. Flower and plant stalls sit alongside them, selling cut flowers and potted plants.

The rest of the 50 stalls run to clothing and textiles: everyday wear, fabric by the metre, and household linen. That mix of produce and clothing is why the market fills a full morning rather than half an hour.

How to get to Quesada Weekly Market

The market is at Explanada junto al Centro de Salud, the open ground next to the health centre, a short walk from the centre of a town small enough to cross on foot. It is an open-air site with no covered hall, so the stalls trade in whatever the weather does. For other market days nearby, see markets in Jaén province.

Where to stay in Quesada

Quesada is a small hilltop town, so staying central is your best bet for getting to the weekly market on foot. Try looking for accommodation around Town Centre, where you'll be well placed for both the market and the local bars and restaurants.

If you prefer a quieter base with views of the Sierra de Cazorla, a rural guesthouse or cortijo just outside town works well too. Check options around Sierra de Cazorla for a more relaxed stay, and you can easily drive in on market day.
