Municipal Markets in Alcala de Henares

The municipal markets in Alcalá de Henares open Monday to Saturday and close on Sunday. Both halls keep the same six-day week, usually running from 9am to 2pm, so there is a market morning every day except Sunday. Saturday draws the biggest crowds of the week, and weekday mornings are the quieter option.

Alcalá de Henares has two municipal markets, both permanent covered halls trading Monday to Saturday. Alcalá de Henares Market is the larger with 25 stalls, and Santa Teresa Market is the second. The city's weekly open-air stall runs are counted separately on the street markets page.

Yes, entry to Alcalá de Henares Market is free. You pay at the individual stalls for what you buy, and there is no charge to walk in, browse the 25 counters or sit at the bar. The hall is open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 2pm, and closed on Sunday.

Santa Teresa Market opens at 8am, Monday to Saturday, and trades until around 2pm. Individual stalls set their own hours within that, so the fish and meat counters are the ones to reach early. Like the city's other municipal hall, it does not open on Sunday.
