Street markets in Villanueva de la Serena
The Mercadillo Street Market is the larger of the two, setting up every Saturday from 9am to 2pm with around 25 stalls along Avenida Hermandad Santiago Apostol. Stalls concentrate on clothing, footwear and handicrafts, and the outdoor layout is easy to walk from end to end in a single pass. Traders here list cash only, so come with notes and coins. For market dates and any schedule changes, the Villanueva de la Serena town hall website is the most reliable source.
The Villanueva de la Serena Collectibles Market runs on a separate weekly schedule at the Recinto Ferial and draws a different crowd. Stalls here focus on antiques and secondhand books, which makes it the go-to option if you are after something with a bit of history rather than new goods. Stall numbers vary week to week, and its trading day is not confirmed. Both appear on the full list of street markets in this city, and if you are travelling from nearby Don Benito, the two towns are easy to combine in a single morning given the 5 km between them.
