Where to stay in Buitrago del Lozoya
Buitrago del Lozoya is a small medieval town, so staying close to the historic centre means you can reach any of the markets on foot. Look for accommodation in Casco Histórico, where you'll be right inside the old walled quarter.

Street markets in Buitrago del Lozoya
The Buitrago Medieval Fair is the standout event, running weekly with 100 stalls selling handicrafts and prepared foods. The setting within the town's medieval walls makes it a genuinely distinctive market, and it's the largest by far of the three street markets in town.
The Buitrago del Lozoya Organic Market runs weekly outdoors and focuses on food produce: fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese and dairy, meat and poultry, and bread and pastries. It's the place to come if you're looking for locally sourced ingredients rather than goods or crafts.
The Buitrago del Lozoya Weekly Market is a smaller affair with 30 stalls, held outdoors each week and concentrating on clothing and footwear. It's a practical stop for everyday shopping rather than food.

All three markets run weekly, so any day you visit Buitrago del Lozoya there's a good chance at least one is operating.
