The Villanueva de la Vera Agroecological Fair runs weekly and focuses entirely on organic produce, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruit from the surrounding La Vera region. Stall numbers are not fixed, but it is the place to shop if locally grown and eco-certified food is your priority. The town's official tourism website has current dates and any seasonal changes to the schedule.
