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.
