Alcalá de Henares Municipal Street Market
Weekly Friday market with around 40 stalls selling clothing, footwear, handicrafts, and jewelry on Paseo de Aguadores.
Alcala de Henares Street Market sets up every Friday from 9am to 2pm on Paseo de Aguadores, one of several markets in Alcala de Henares. Around 40 stalls line the avenue selling clothing, footwear, leather goods, handicrafts, and jewelry. Bring cash, as most stalls don't take cards. Get there early for the best selection, as popular items go fast.
What you'll find
The market leans heavily towards clothing and accessories. You'll find everyday wear, shoes, leather bags, and belts alongside handmade crafts and jewelry. It's a good spot to pick up affordable basics or browse for something more unique from the handicraft stalls. If you're after fresh produce, head to the Wednesday market on Avenida del Ejército instead.

Where to stay in Alcala de Henares
Staying in the historic centre puts you right on the doorstep of the market and Alcalá's medieval streets. Try the Parador de Alcalá de Henares, a beautifully converted former convent, or the well-located Hotel El Bedel, just steps from the university quarter.
If you prefer a central base with easy access on foot, look for accommodation around Calle Mayor, where you can walk to the market in minutes and explore the city between visits.
