Markets in Extremadura

Extremadura's market tradition reflects the region's agricultural heritage and rural character.

Weekly street markets appear in towns across both Cáceres and Badajoz provinces, offering seasonal produce from local farms alongside household goods and textiles.

Municipal markets in larger centres like Cáceres, Mérida and Badajoz provide year-round trading spaces where vendors sell fresh meat, cheese and vegetables.

The region's famous jamón ibérico is prominently featured, sourced from the oak forests where black pigs roam freely. These markets serve practical community needs whilst preserving centuries-old trading customs that connect Extremadura's scattered settlements.
