Street markets in Peñafiel

The Peñafiel Medieval Market is the larger of the two, with around 50 stalls selling handicrafts, prepared foods, clothing, and jewellery. Its character leans towards artisan goods and regional specialities, making it a good stop if you are looking for something beyond everyday shopping.

Planning your visit

Both markets are outdoor events, so checking local conditions before you travel is worthwhile. Peñafiel sits in the Valladolid province of Castile and León, and the wider Valladolid province has additional markets worth combining into a longer trip.
