Valdemorillo markets give shoppers a compact but varied outdoor experience, with three weekly street markets covering everything from second-hand antiques and books to locally made handicrafts and clothing. All three run outdoors, so a dry day makes for the most comfortable browse.
Valdemorillo is a small town, so your best bet is to stay centrally near Town Centre, where you'll be within easy reach of the local market and can explore the town on foot. If you prefer more options, the nearby town of El Escorial is just a short drive away and offers a broader choice of accommodation.
For a comfortable base, you might also consider staying somewhere along the A-6 Corridor, which keeps you well connected to both Valdemorillo and Madrid if you're combining your visit with other stops in the region.

Street markets in Valdemorillo
The Valdemorillo Antiques and Second-Hand Market is the most distinctive of the three, specialising in antiques, books, clothing and footwear. It is a good first stop for anyone hunting for pre-owned finds or collectables in the Madrid Communities region.
The Valdemorillo Craft Fair focuses entirely on handicrafts, making it the place to pick up handmade goods directly from the people who produced them. It runs weekly outdoors and tends to attract visitors with an interest in artisan work rather than everyday shopping.
The Valdemorillo Weekly Market rounds out the offering with clothing, footwear, books and handicrafts, giving it the broadest product range of the three. If you can only visit one market, this is the most practical choice for general shopping. Visitors coming from nearby towns such as El Escorial or Collado Villalba will find the weekly schedule easy to fit around a day trip.
All three markets are held outdoors, so checking local weather before travelling is worthwhile. The municipality of Valdemorillo publishes local event information at valdemorillo.es, where current schedules and any temporary changes are occasionally posted.
