Alcobendas Producers Market

The market brings together small-scale farmers and artisan food producers who sell directly to the public, with a strong focus on ecological and locally grown produce.

Live music starts at midday and runs through the afternoon, and there is a children's play area with organised activities alongside the stalls. A seating area lets you sit down with a coffee or a craft beer between rounds of the market, and the site has step-free wheelchair access throughout. You can find more municipal markets in Alcobendas if you want to explore the area further.

You'll find a solid range of seasonal organic fruit and vegetables alongside artisan staples: extra virgin olive oil, raw honey, sourdough bread and Spanish cheeses. Producers from the sierra bring cured meats, and there's usually a good selection of craft beers, wines and vermouth to taste on the spot. Stalls take contactless cards and mobile payments as well as cash, though it is worth carrying some coins for the smaller growers.

Alcobendas sits just north of Madrid, so you have good options both in town and nearby. The La Moraleja neighbourhood is a smart base, with comfortable hotels close to the market and easy road connections. The Hotel Alcobendas is a reliable choice if you want to stay right in the city centre and walk to the market with ease.

If you prefer more variety, central Madrid is only 20 minutes away by Metro, so staying in Plaza de Castilla gives you access to the capital's amenities while keeping the trip to Alcobendas simple.

The market is on Paseo de Valdelasfuentes at the corner of Calle José Hierro in Alcobendas. From Madrid, take Metro Line 10 to Manuel de Falla station or the Cercanías commuter train to Valdelasfuentes. By car, use the A-1 motorway north from Madrid. Street parking in the surrounding area is generally available on Sundays.
