The Campo de Criptana Weekly Market is the larger of the two, trading every Tuesday from 9am to 2pm with around 50 stalls set up outdoors. Traders focus on everyday essentials like clothing and footwear, making it a practical stop for locals and a good browse for visitors curious about what a working Spanish street market looks like.
The Campo de Criptana Medieval Market brings a different character to the calendar, running Friday to Sunday between May and September with stalls dedicated to handicrafts alongside clothing and footwear. Exact stall numbers vary by edition, but the medieval theme draws artisan traders you are less likely to find at the Tuesday market. If you are also exploring Alcázar de San Juan or Tomelloso during your visit, both towns have their own market days worth checking before you travel.
