Street markets in El Molar
The El Molar Municipal Street Market is the largest of the three, with 15 stalls selling fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and clothing. It runs weekly outdoors and is the most practical stop for everyday shopping.
The El Molar Renaissance Artisan Fair is a weekly outdoor market focused on handicrafts, giving it a distinct character from the other two. Stall numbers are not published, but it draws craft sellers from across the area.
The El Molar Second-Hand Market rounds out the offer with a weekly outdoor market selling second-hand clothing and books. It is a good option if you are hunting for low-cost finds or vintage reads.
