The indoor setting makes it a reliable choice regardless of weather, and the cheese and dairy offering in particular reflects La Serena's strong regional reputation for sheep's milk products.

Street markets in Castuera
The Castuera Weekly Market is the larger of the two, with 35 outdoor stalls setting up on Thursday. The range here shifts toward non-food goods, with clothing and textiles and footwear and leather alongside fresh fruit and vegetables, so it's the better option if you're after everyday items beyond groceries. Thursday is the one day of the week when both markets are open, and the stall count is at its highest. See street markets in this city for the full listing.
For more markets in the area, nearby Don Benito and Villanueva de la Serena both have their own market days worth combining with a trip to Castuera. The Ayuntamiento de Castuera is the best source for confirmed opening dates and any seasonal changes.
