Where to stay in Bejar
Béjar is a small town, so staying in or near the Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the markets and the main streets. The Historic Quarter is also a good base, with a calm atmosphere and plenty of local bars and restaurants nearby.
If you prefer a more comfortable option with parking, look at the Hotel Colón Béjar, which is a reliable choice and well located for exploring the town on foot.

Street markets in Bejar
The Béjar Weekly Market is the largest of the three, with 50 stalls spread across an outdoor site. Shoppers can pick up fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, cut flowers and plants, clothing, and footwear, making it a practical stop for both locals and visitors stocking up for the week.
The Béjar Livestock Market focuses on meat and poultry and is the most specialised of the three. It runs weekly outdoors and draws traders and buyers with a professional interest in local produce alongside curious visitors.
The Béjar May Fair Market shifts the focus toward culture and collecting, with stalls dedicated to handicrafts and antiques. It is a good option if you are interested in regional craft traditions or hunting for vintage pieces from the Salamanca province area.
Planning your visit
All three markets are held outdoors, so checking the weather before you go is worthwhile. Bejar sits in the Sierra de Béjar and mornings can be cool even in summer. The weekly rhythm means at least one market is typically running on any given market day. If you are travelling through this part of Castile and León, nearby towns such as Salamanca also have active market scenes worth combining with a visit here. For more on local events and the town, the Ayuntamiento de Béjar provides up-to-date information on schedules and fair dates.
