Market days in Leon
Saturday is the fullest day, with six markets trading, followed by Wednesday with five. Tuesday and Friday each have two, Monday and Thursday one apiece, and Sunday is the quietest with one. Almost everything opens at 9am and closes at 2pm, so market shopping in León is a morning job.
Municipal markets in Leon
The city has one municipal market, 25 stalls trading under cover on fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. It is the only place in León you can shop indoors on an ordinary weekday morning rather than waiting for a street market day. Stall counts and opening days are listed on the León municipal market page.
Street markets in Leon
Six street markets set up across León, and they divide fairly cleanly between everyday shopping and browsing. The largest runs around 400 stalls at Parque de la Granja on Wednesdays and Saturdays, weighted towards clothing, footwear and fresh produce, and it is the one to pick if you want to buy rather than wander.
The other five are much smaller, in the 15 to 25 stall range, and that is where the specialisms sit: fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and local honey on the food side, antiques, books, jewellery and handicrafts on the other. Days, locations and stall counts for all six are on the León street markets page.

León has seven markets: one municipal market trading indoors on 25 stalls, and six street markets. The largest of those is the Parque de la Granja market with around 400 stalls, running Wednesdays and Saturdays.
