About Ciudad Rodrigo Municipal Market
The Ciudad Rodrigo Municipal Market operates Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 2:30 PM, with Saturday hours running 9:15 AM to 2 PM. Located on Avenida España, this covered market serves the historic fortified city with quality food provisions.
Vendors focus primarily on fresh meats and traditional Spanish charcuterie. You'll also find stalls selling fish, dairy products, fruits and vegetables from local suppliers.

Where to stay in Ciudad Rodrigo
Staying in the historic centre puts you within easy walking distance of the Municipal Market and Ciudad Rodrigo's compact old town. The Casco Histórico is your best bet, with several small hotels and guesthouses right inside the medieval walls.
For a comfortable and well-located option, Parador de Ciudad Rodrigo is a standout choice, set in a 15th-century castle overlooking the River Águeda. It's a short stroll from the market and gives you a great base for exploring the town at your own pace.
