Markets in Avila Province

Avila province has 26 markets across 9 towns and cities, and all but three are street markets, the kind that set up in a square for the morning and are packed away by mid afternoon. The other three are municipal markets trading from fixed premises.

Saturday is the busiest market day here, with 13 of the 26 markets trading, followed by Friday with 11. Monday is the quietest at 4. The most common opening hours across the province are 09:00 to 14:00, so a market here is a morning errand rather than an afternoon one, and turning up after one o'clock often means watching the stalls come down.

Where the markets are concentrated

They are not spread evenly. Avila itself accounts for 8 of the 26, more than anywhere else in the province, and Arenas de San Pedro in the south has 4. El Tiemblo and Sotillo de la Adrada have 3 each, and the remaining towns run one or two apiece. If you are ranging further afield, the rest of the markets in Castile and León follow much the same morning pattern.
