Municipal markets in Alcobendas
Four of the city's six markets are indoor municipal halls, and between them they cover the weekly shop: fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, bread and pastries, and prepared food. Trading generally starts at 9am and winds down by 2pm.
Constitution Market is the largest of the four, with 15 stalls. The Alcobendas Producers Market is the one to aim for if you want organic and local food rather than a general grocery run, with prepared foods and coffee alongside the produce. Matilda Market and La Chopera Market cover the essentials, with La Chopera adding bread and pastries. The full list, with each market's own days and hours, is on the municipal markets page.
Street markets in Alcobendas
The two outdoor markets pull in opposite directions. The Alcobendas Municipal Street Market is the biggest market in the city by some distance, with around 40 stalls weighted towards fresh fruit, vegetables and clothing, and it draws steady local footfall rather than tourists. Trastillo Sarasvati is a clothing and books market, the only place in Alcobendas to browse secondhand and artisan goods rather than food.
Both run weekly. Days and setup times for each are listed on the street markets page.
