Street markets in Alpedrete
The Alpedrete Christmas Market is a weekly outdoor market focused entirely on handicrafts, making it a good stop for handmade gifts and artisan pieces. Its dedicated craft theme sets it apart from the more general markets in town.
The Alpedrete Craft Market also runs weekly outdoors and expands on the Christmas market's offering by adding jewellery alongside handicrafts. If artisan goods are your priority, this is the most concentrated option available in the town.
The Alpedrete Medieval Market takes place weekly outdoors and combines handicrafts with clothing, giving it a distinctive character compared to the other street markets. The mix of handmade goods and period-style clothing tends to attract a different crowd than a standard weekly market.
The Alpedrete Weekly Market is the most practical option for everyday shopping, selling clothing and footwear on a weekly outdoor basis. It rounds out a market scene that covers everything from artisan crafts to practical wearables. Visitors coming from Collado Villalba or other nearby sierra towns will find the weekly market the easiest to fit around regular travel.
Planning your visit
All four markets in Alpedrete are held outdoors, so checking local conditions before visiting is worthwhile, particularly in winter or during the summer heat. The Ayuntamiento de Alpedrete is the best source for confirmed dates and any schedule changes across all four markets.
