Street markets in Almeria
Almeria's street markets are spread across different neighbourhoods and each runs on a set day. The week starts with the Blue Ball Street Market on Monday mornings, followed by the Stadium Street Market near the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos on Tuesdays. Fridays bring two mercadillos: the Los Ángeles market on Avenida de la Cruz and the Puche market in the northern part of the city.
Most Almeria market days follow the same pattern. Stalls open around 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning and pack up by early afternoon. Arrive before 11:00 for the best selection, especially at stalls selling fresh fruits and vegetables from the surrounding campos.
What to buy at Almeria's markets
The Almeria province is one of Europe's largest producers of fruit and vegetables, so the local markets carry excellent seasonal produce at low prices. Look for Almeria tomatoes, peppers and melons in summer. Beyond fresh food, the weekly mercadillos stock clothing, footwear, household items and handmade crafts. Cash is the safest bet at most stalls, though some accept cards.
