Markets in Almendralejo
Badajoz, Extremadura
Almendralejo markets give shoppers two weekly outdoor options, both running in the open air across the town. The larger of the two draws up to 200 stalls every Friday, while a separate flea market focused on antiques and second-hand finds rounds out the offering. There are no municipal covered markets in the town, so all market activity takes place on the street.

The Almendralejo Friday Market is the main weekly event, with around 200 stalls spread across an outdoor site. Traders here cover everyday essentials including clothing, footwear, fresh fruit, and fresh vegetables, making it a practical stop for both locals and visitors. It runs every Friday and is the largest market in the area.
The Reto Flea Market is a separate weekly market with a distinctly different character, specialising in antiques and collectables. Stall numbers are not fixed, but the market draws traders dealing in second-hand and vintage goods. It is worth checking locally for the exact day and location before making a special trip.
