Market days in Barbastro
Saturday carries two of Barbastro's four markets, Wednesday and Sunday one each, and one of the four sets up monthly rather than weekly. Stalls generally open from 9am, and the longest trading days run through to 8pm, so a morning visit is safest if you want the produce stalls at their fullest.
Street markets in Barbastro
Every market here is an outdoor street market, so there is no covered municipal hall and fresh produce is bought from stalls rather than permanent counters. Across the four you'll find fresh fruit and vegetables, flowers and plants, clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, handicrafts, books and jewellery, which is a wider spread than a town of this size usually carries.
The antiques end of it is worth a trip on its own: one of the four is given over to antiques, jewellery, books and second-hand clothing, and is small enough to cover thoroughly in a morning. The Candlemas Fair takes its name from the historic Candelera fair held every February, though it now runs year-round. Stall counts, days and full product lists for each one are on the street markets in Barbastro page.

Jaca to the north runs its own weekly market and combines well with a visit here.
