Street Markets in Almansa
Albacete, Castile-La Mancha · 2 street markets
Street markets in Almansa amount to two: a weekly mercadillo that sets up on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings, and a seasonal Christmas market whose dates the town announces each year. Both are free to walk into and both keep the usual morning hours, roughly 9am to 2pm. Between them the stalls run to fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, bread and cheese alongside clothing, footwear and handicrafts, so this is a general market rather than a produce-only farmers market. The indoor trading is covered on the Almansa markets hub.

Tips for visiting
Come in the first hour after the 9am start if you want the produce pitches at their best, since fruit and vegetable traders sell through early and begin clearing before the 2pm close. Carry cash, as card acceptance varies from one stall to the next.
