Municipal markets in Ciudad Rodrigo
The Ciudad Rodrigo Municipal Market on Avenida España is the town's permanent indoor market, operating Monday to Saturday with around 15 stalls. You can shop for meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, fresh fruit and vegetables all under one roof. The indoor setting makes it a practical year-round option regardless of weather, and there is free parking close by. More information is available on the Ciudad Rodrigo tourism website. Full opening details are on the municipal markets page.
Street markets in Ciudad Rodrigo
The three street markets divide neatly between clothing and food. The largest, with 75 stalls, is the general weekly market, where the trade is clothing, footwear and leather rather than anything you would cook that evening. It is the one to aim for if you want affordable fashion and accessories.
Food is the other half. The Martes Mayor, known locally as a market fair, brings fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood and cheese and dairy into the streets, drawing stalls from the surrounding area, and a seasonal Christmas market adds a festive run in the town centre during the holiday period. Stall numbers on both vary by year. Days and stall counts for each are listed on the street markets page.

Are there markets open on Sunday in Ciudad Rodrigo?
