Conde Luna Market
León's main indoor food market with 25 stalls selling fresh produce, local cecina, fish, cheese and bakery goods on Plaza Conde Luna in the historic centre.
Mercado del Conde Luna is the main indoor food market in León, sitting on Plaza Conde Luna in the heart of the historic centre. Open since 1929 and recently renovated, its 25 stalls cover fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, seafood, cheese, dairy and bakery goods. It runs Monday to Saturday from 8am to 3pm and is closed on Sundays.
What to buy
The stalls are compact but well-stocked, with butchers, fishmongers, cheesemongers and bakers alongside the produce stands. León is famous for cecina de León, the region's air-dried cured beef from the surrounding mountains, and you'll find it here alongside local cheeses and seasonal vegetables. Most stalls accept contactless and mobile payments as well as cash.
