Mercado de la Paz: food shopping and lunch in Salamanca

Mercado de la Paz, at Calle de Ayala, 28, combines food stalls and places to eat in Salamanca. For a stay at Corner28, it offers a way to pair a shopping-district walk with buying ingredients for your apartment kitchen.

What to expect

Opened in 1882, the market has an iron structure and entrances on Ayala, Lagasca and Claudio Coello. Check the market’s own website for its businesses and services.

Treat browsing for ingredients and sitting down to eat as two separate parts of the visit. If you want to do both, buy anything that needs refrigeration last and return to the apartment afterwards.

Shop for the stay you have planned

For a simple dinner, our suggestion is seasonal vegetables, a main ingredient and something to share. Ask stallholders about quantities for your group rather than shopping as if you were staying a full week.

You could also pick up breakfast for the following morning. Your own kitchen is useful when guests wake at different times or want an early start. Before buying specialist ingredients or equipment, check Corner28’s published amenities.

Check market and individual business hours

At the review on 3 October 2026, the market website lists Monday–Friday 09:00–20:00, Saturday 09:00–14:30 and Sunday closed. Check the individual business and any holiday changes with the official source.

If a particular restaurant is the reason for your visit, confirm its availability before planning the rest of your day around lunch.

Getting there from Corner28

Open the route from Sancho Dávila, 28 to the market. Compare walking and public transport, considering both your time and your shopping bags.

Combine the market with our Salamanca walking itinerary or Golden Mile shopping guide. If buying fresh food, finish at the market.
