Where to stay in Plasencia
Staying in the old town puts you right where you want to be, within easy walking distance of Plasencia's markets and its beautiful main square. The Casco Antiguo is the obvious base, with a good selection of small hotels and guesthouses tucked inside the medieval walls.
If you prefer something with more comfort, Parador de Plasencia is a reliable choice, set in a restored 15th-century convent and just a short stroll from the market area. For a more affordable option, Hotel Alfonso VIII sits right in the heart of the city and is well-placed for exploring on foot.

Street markets in Plasencia
The Plasencia Textile Market is the larger of the two, with around 150 stalls dedicated to clothing and footwear. It runs weekly outdoors and is one of the more substantial textile street markets in the region, worth a visit if you are after affordable seasonal clothes or shoes.
The Plasencia Market is a weekly fresh produce market, selling fruit and vegetables directly from outdoor stalls. The exact stall count is not confirmed, but it consistently draws local shoppers looking for everyday groceries. Nearby Coria and Cáceres also hold regular produce markets if you want to compare what the area offers.
Planning your visit
Both markets run weekly and are held outdoors, so weather is worth checking before you go. The Ayuntamiento de Plasencia publishes local event and market updates if you need to confirm current schedules before travelling. Parking near the market areas can fill up on market mornings, so arriving early is advisable.
