Markets in Extremadura
Spain · 89 markets across 2 provinces
Extremadura has 89 markets across 41 towns and cities, 54 of them in the province of Badajoz and 35 in Cáceres. No single town dominates: Badajoz city has the most at six, and the next highest counts are five, so planning around the region usually means picking a day and a town rather than hopping between several in one morning.
Of the 89, 75 are street markets and 14 are municipal market halls. The street markets set up in a square, a car park or along a street for the morning and are packed away by lunchtime. The municipal halls are permanent buildings with fixed counters, and they keep to a standing weekly timetable.
The most common opening hours across the region are 9am to 2pm. Markets here are a morning affair, and arriving after one o'clock often means watching the last crates go into vans rather than shopping.
