Street markets in Villanueva de la Serena
The Mercadillo Street Market is the larger of the two, running weekly with around 25 stalls set out 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. For more information on 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 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. If you are travelling from nearby Don Benito, both towns are easy to combine in a single morning trip given the 5 km distance between them.
