Markets in the Province of Palencia

Castile and León, Spain · 31 markets across 13 cities

31 markets across 13 cities Verified information

Palencia province has 31 markets spread across 13 towns, which is a modest count for a Castile and León province and means that in most of the province you are planning around one or two market days a week rather than picking from a daily choice. The city of Palencia accounts for six of them, more than anywhere else in the province. Saldaña has five and Cervera de Pisuerga four, so the north of the province is better served than its population would suggest.

Sunday is the busiest day here, with seven markets trading, and it is the day worth building a trip around. Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday each have six, so a midweek visit is not a wasted one. Monday is the quietest at three markets, and Thursday runs to four, Friday to five. The most common opening hours are 09:00 to 14:00, which means a market morning rather than a market day: arrive by eleven and you will see the stalls at their fullest, arrive at one and you will watch them packing up.

Days are confirmed for 23 of the 31 markets. The remaining eight have no day recorded, and they tend to be the smaller village markets, so it is worth checking each market's own page before travelling for one of those.

Palencia is one of nine provinces covered on the Castile and León region page, which is the place to compare it with its neighbours if you are travelling more widely.
