Leon Farmers Market

The market takes place every Wednesday and Saturday in Plaza Mayor, Leon and is the place where you can buy the best fruits and vegetables, brought directly from the countryside at a great price. I can remember this market from when I was small, accompanying my mother to shop here. There is now an indoor space, though formerly it was completely in the open, exposed to the summer sunshine, rain and harsh winter frosts of Leon. Apart from plant products, you can buy cheeses and homemade sausages, and other craft products like natural honey. Years ago there were even live roosters, chickens, and rabbits and authentic free range eggs, but they were banned from selling them for health issues.
