Street markets in El Escorial
The Wednesday market on Calle Alfonso XIII is the largest, with around 15 stalls selling clothing, leather goods, flowers and books. On Fridays, a smaller mercadillo sets up in the town centre with handicrafts and textiles. Sundays bring the Los Arroyos market, focused on fresh produce.
El Escorial is right next to San Lorenzo de El Escorial, home to the famous Royal Monastery and its own municipal market. If you're exploring the area, check both towns on the same trip. You can find more information about local events on the El Escorial municipal website.
