Street markets in Zafra
The Zafra Sunday Market is the town's main trading event, operating weekly on Sundays with roughly 100 outdoor stalls. Shoppers can pick up fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and local cheese and dairy products alongside practical finds like clothing and footwear. It covers a broad enough range to be useful whether you are after ingredients for a meal or everyday goods. If you are also visiting nearby Almendralejo or Mérida, both have their own market days that can be combined into a longer trip through the region.
Planning your visit
Arriving early on Sunday gives you the best selection across the fresh produce stalls, which tend to sell down quickly. The market is held outdoors, so checking the weather before you go is worth a few seconds of your time.
