Markets in Palencia
Palencia, Castile and León
Markets in Palencia run on three days each week, giving you plenty of chances to browse street stalls in this compact Castilian city. The Tuesday and Wednesday markets focus on clothing, textiles, and fresh produce, while the Sunday market leans towards antiques, handicrafts, and books.
Palencia sits on the banks of the River Carrión in the heart of the Tierra de Campos, a cereal-producing plain that has shaped local food traditions for centuries. The city is also home to a historic covered market hall, the Plaza de Abastos, designed in 1895 with cast iron and glass in the modernist style.
