Markets in Badajoz Province

Badajoz province has 54 markets across 26 towns and cities, split between 44 street markets and 10 municipal markets. The street markets are the ones that set up for a morning and pack away by lunchtime; the municipal markets are permanent halls trading through the week.

Saturday is the busiest day, with 27 markets trading, followed by Friday with 18 and Thursday with 17. The week starts more quietly: 11 markets on Monday, 13 on each of Tuesday and Wednesday. Sunday is the quietest trading day, also with 11.

The usual hours are 09:00 to 14:00, so these are morning outings rather than afternoon ones. Traders are generally set up early and beginning to break down before two, which means arriving at midday leaves you a short window. Five of the 54 markets have no confirmed trading day in our records, so 49 do; where a day is not listed on a market's own page, treat it as unknown rather than assuming a weekly pattern.

Badajoz city itself holds six markets, more than anywhere else in the province. Berlanga has five, which is unusual for a town of its size. Olivenza, Mérida and Montijo have three each, and Almendralejo, Barcarrota, Campanario, Campillo de Llerena, Castuera, Fuente de Cantos and Medellín have two apiece. The rest of the province's towns hold one each, which is worth knowing if you are driving: outside those larger clusters, a wasted journey costs you the whole morning.
