Markets in the Province of Leon
Castile and León, Spain · 46 markets across 17 cities
Leon province has 46 markets across 17 towns, and 44 of them are street markets rather than covered halls. Only two are municipal markets. The usual pattern is a weekly market that sets up in the morning, sells for a few hours and packs up again.
Saturday is the busiest day, with 26 of the 46 markets trading. Sunday follows with 20 and Friday with 15. Midweek thins out quickly: eight markets on a Wednesday, five on a Tuesday, five on a Thursday and only four anywhere in the province on a Monday. Six markets have no confirmed day recorded, so 40 of the 46 are ones you can plan a trip around.
Hours are consistent across the province. The most common opening times are 09:00 to 14:00, so arriving after lunch generally means arriving after the stalls have gone. Individual markets do vary, and each market's own page carries the times recorded for it.
