Ecomercado Norte
The Ecomercado Norte is an extension of the Granada Ecomercado in the northern part of the city; it takes place on the third Saturday of every month on Luis Miranda Dávalos Avenue, very close to the Granada Bus Station. This agroecological market in Granada offers organic fruits, vegetables, bread, olive oil, wine, honey, and cheeses produced in the Vega de Granada, the Alpujarra, the Altiplano, and other regions of the province, as well as natural cosmetics, eco-friendly cleaning products, and traditional local crafts. Granada’s Ecomercado Norte has become a catalyst for commercial and social revitalization in a working-class neighborhood like the Zona Norte, with stalls that reflect the Ecomercado project’s commitment to agroecology and a parallel program of workshops, live music, and talks on agroecology. Every third Saturday of the month, the Ecomercado Norte attracts hundreds of residents who support locally sourced organic products and the most sustainable Andalusian cuisine.

Get to Know the Market
A little background
he origins of the Ecomercado Norte date back to the final decades of the 19th century, when farmers and artisans from the region would travel to the city of Granada to trade and sell their products. As in so many other towns in Granada, street vending emerged in tandem with the agricultural calendar and livestock fairs, establishing itself over the generations as one of the town’s most important social and economic gatherings.
With the arrival of the 20th century and the economic transformation of rural areas, Granada’s weekly market evolved: it gave way to large textile and footwear stalls, incorporated vendors from other provinces, and became professionalized under municipal regulations. Many of today’s vendors are third- or fourth-generation members of families who have been attending this event for decades, maintaining a direct link to the city’s commercial fabric.
Today, the Ecomercado Norte retains that down-to-earth essence while adapting to new trends: organic products, contemporary crafts, local cuisine, and a close relationship with consumers that large shopping centers cannot offer. The city government and the vendors’ association collaborate to preserve its traditional character in the heart of Granada.

How to Get a Stall at the Ecomercado Norte
Would you like to set up a stall at the Ecomercado Norte market, located at Granada? To sell as a street vendor, you need a municipal street vending permit or license: this is issued by the town council, not the market itself, and typically requires that you be registered as a self-employed individual or a business, be in good standing with the tax authorities and Social Security, and have liability insurance that covers the stall.
Ecomercado Norte is held on Saturdays. The exact fee is set by the Granada town council; please check it before submitting your application.

You can download the municipal ordinance on street vending from Granada (check the town council’s official website to make sure it’s still in effect, in case it has been updated).
You can contact the Granada town council at smac@granada.org.
