The Roa Weekly Market is an outdoor street market that sets up once a week, with stallholders selling fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, cheese and dairy products, clothing and footwear. It is the town's only market, so timing your visit around its weekly schedule is essential. If you are also exploring nearby towns, Aranda de Duero and Peñafiel both have their own market days worth combining into a day trip.

Roa sits in the Ribera del Duero comarca, and the market is a good opportunity to pick up local cheese and dairy alongside the fruit and vegetables on offer. For broader information on the town and its surroundings, the official Roa municipality site is a useful starting point before you travel.
