El Martes Street Market sets up every Tuesday from 9am to 2pm in Toledo, near the Paseo de Merchán area close to Puerta de Bisagra.

The name "El Martes" simply means "Tuesday" and the tradition runs deep. King Henry IV granted Toledo a weekly tax-free market in 1465, later confirmed by the Catholic Monarchs in 1475. For centuries the market ran in Plaza de Zocodover before moving to Paseo del Carmen in the 1950s and eventually to its current spot on the western edge of the old city.
What you'll find
Clothing and textiles make up the bulk of the stalls, from casual everyday wear to more formal pieces. You'll also find footwear, leather bags, haberdashery and household goods. Prices start from a couple of euros, which is why the market stays popular with locals. It's a good complement to the street markets in Toledo if you're spending the week in the city.
