Madrid, Community of madrid
The mercadillo de Aranjuez draws locals and visitors alike to this royal town south of Madrid, where four weekly outdoor markets offer everything from Tagus valley strawberries and asparagus to antiques and handmade crafts. All markets run on a weekly schedule and take place in the open air, so a fine morning is the best time to plan your visit.

Where to stay in Aranjuez
Staying in the Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the markets and the Royal Palace gardens. The town is compact, so almost anywhere central works well for getting around on foot.
For a comfortable base, NH Collection Palacio de Aranjuez is a reliable option with a great location, or look at Hotel Infantas de Aranjuez for something a little more affordable. Both keep you close to the main market areas without needing a car.

The largest of the four markets is the Aranjuez Street Market, with 45 stalls selling fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, clothing, and footwear. It is the go-to stop for everyday shopping and the best place to pick up locally grown produce that has long made this corner of the Community of Madrid famous.
Market la Reina is a dedicated handicrafts market with 20 stalls, making it the place to look for handmade and artisan goods. Its weekly outdoor format keeps the atmosphere relaxed and easy to browse at your own pace.
There are two editions of the Aranjuez Vintage Market running each week. The larger of the two has 25 stalls and combines fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and clothing with antiques and books. The smaller edition runs with 20 stalls and focuses purely on antiques and books, making it a reliable stop for collectors and second-hand readers.
For official dates and any seasonal schedule changes, the Aranjuez tourism website is the most reliable source.
