Street markets in Olías del Rey
The Sunday market is the larger of the two, with around 90 stalls spread across an outdoor site. Produce is well represented here, with vendors selling fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and flowers and plants alongside clothing and footwear stalls. It is the best day to visit if you want a full market experience with a mix of food and general goods.
The Monday market is a much smaller affair, running weekly with around 15 stalls. It focuses on clothing, footwear, and handicrafts, making it more of a neighbourhood general market than a food destination. Both markets are outdoors and cash is the typical payment method.
