Mercado de San Agustín

Mercado de San Agustín is a covered market in central Granada offering hundreds of stalls with fresh produce, meats, fish, and regional specialties spread across two city blocks. The layout allows shoppers to walk through different sections, each focused on specific product types that serve both locals and visitors.

The site originally housed the San Agustín Convent until the 19th century when the religious building was eventually demolished. It later transformed into a public market in the 1970s, reflecting a shift in how Granada used its urban spaces for community needs.

Vendors here maintain strong connections to the surrounding region, selling olive oils, wines, and seafood caught near coastal towns. The market reflects how locals source their food and represents a continuation of community gathering traditions that define daily life in Granada.

The market operates on weekdays and Saturday mornings, with vendors offering product samples to customers throughout the day. Morning hours tend to be less crowded and provide better views of the full selection available.

One vendor creates a forest-like setting to display local mushroom varieties, offering visitors insight into the regional culinary diversity. This unusual presentation helps shoppers recognize different species and learn about their uses in cooking.
