Monthly Portuguese market held on the first Sunday of each month in Trabanca, Salamanca. Stalls selling clothing, footwear, crafts and Portuguese specialities on Ronda del Mercado.
Trabanca Street Market sets up on the first Sunday of each month on Ronda del Mercado in Trabanca, one of the street markets in the area, running from 10am to 3pm. Known as Mercadillo Portugués La Cuenta, it has drawn shoppers from across Salamanca, Zamora and Portugal since 2004. The name La Cuenta comes from an old livestock census held on the same site, where villagers would try to undercount their animals to pay less tax. You'll find clothing, footwear, crafts and antiques alongside Portuguese specialities like bacalao and presunto. Bring cash, as stalls are cash-only.
What you'll find
The mix leans heavily on cross-border goods: seasonal clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, handmade crafts and antiques. Portuguese food products are a highlight, including salted cod, cured meats and artisan cheeses. Get there before midday for the best pick before popular stalls sell out.
Where to stay in Trabanca
Trabanca is a small village, so accommodation options are limited locally. Your best bet is to stay in a nearby town and make the trip in, with Salamanca City Centre offering the most choice for hotels, restaurants, and things to do around your visit.
If you prefer somewhere closer, Vitigudino is a small market town just a short drive away and a more low-key base for exploring this part of the province.

What can you buy at Trabanca Street Market?
Trabanca Street Market's 25 stalls sell clothing, footwear and leather goods, handmade crafts and antiques, plus Portuguese specialities such as bacalao (salted cod), presunto and artisan cheeses. The border location means many of the food stalls bring produce over from Portugal rather than from elsewhere in Spain.
Do I need cash at Trabanca Street Market?
Yes. All stalls are cash-only with no card payment available. There is no ATM at the market itself, so withdraw cash in advance before heading to Trabanca.
Is there a children's play area at Trabanca Street Market?
Yes, Trabanca Street Market has a children's play area next to its stalls, along Ronda del Mercado. The market is entirely outdoors, so the play area is only usable during opening hours, 10am to 3pm on market Sundays, and closes along with the rest of the stalls.
