Tips for visiting
Come before 11am on a Saturday for the produce stalls at their best, since the weekly market thins out well ahead of its 2pm close. Bring cash, as card acceptance varies from one trader to the next. The city's indoor hall is on the separate municipal markets page, and all markets in Ciudad Rodrigo are listed together on the city page.

Where to stay in Ciudad Rodrigo
Every one of these markets sets up inside or just outside the medieval walls, so a bed in the old town means walking to them at 9am rather than looking for a parking space. Casco Histórico puts you a few minutes from the Saturday and Tuesday pitches, and the Parador de Ciudad Rodrigo sits in the 14th-century castle at the same end of town. A car helps you reach the city, not the markets.
