San Pedro Alcántara Municipal Market

San Pedro Alcántara Municipal Market is a covered food hall at Calle Caravaca, 1, and it is where San Pedro Alcántara does its daily food shop rather than a stop on a sightseeing route. Its 25 stalls trade Monday to Friday from 8am to 2pm and Saturday from 8am to noon, with no Sunday trading. It is the town's municipal market, open six mornings a week rather than on a single market day.

About San Pedro Alcántara Municipal Market

Monday to Friday the hall runs a six-hour day, 8am to 2pm. On Saturday it closes at noon, two hours earlier, so a late Saturday morning leaves very little of it. Sunday it does not open at all.

Twenty-five stalls is a working town market rather than a large city hall, and the whole of it is indoors and under cover. It is recorded as wheelchair accessible, which is a real reason to choose it over an open-air alternative. Stalls take cash and mobile payments; card payment is not among the market's recorded options, so bring euros. The market's phone number is +34 609 052 678.

What to buy at San Pedro Alcántara Municipal Market

Six food categories are represented across the 25 stalls: fish and seafood, meat and poultry, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, cheese and dairy, and bread and bakery goods. There is no clothing and no household goods recorded here, so everything under the roof is an ingredient.

Fish and seafood counters are the section a visiting cook is most likely to come for on this stretch of coast, and the bakery is the obvious last stop on the way out.
