Where to stay in Algete
Algete is a small town, so your best bet is to stay centrally near Town Centre, where you can easily walk to the local markets and pick up everything you need. If you prefer more options for accommodation, the nearby area of Norte gives you quick access via road while keeping you close to the action.
For a comfortable base, look at what's available through Alcobendas, just a short drive south, which has more hotels to choose from and good transport links back into Algete for market days.

Street markets in Algete
The Algete Municipal Street Market is the larger of the two, with around 25 stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables and clothing. It runs weekly and is the main spot locals head to for affordable produce and everyday goods. Cash is the standard payment method, so it's worth coming prepared.
La Despensa de Madrid is an itinerant market that also visits Algete on a weekly basis. Its stalls focus on food products: fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, and cheese and dairy. The itinerant format means the offer can shift slightly from week to week, but the food emphasis stays consistent.
For more options in the area, Alcobendas and San Sebastián de los Reyes both have larger markets within easy reach. For official local information, the Algete town hall website is the best starting point.
