Mercaleón is a physical food wholesale market in León, at Ctra. de Vilecha s/n, 24192 León. It brings together fruit and vegetable wholesalers, fish distribution, meat businesses and supporting services. For buyers, its practical value is access to several potential suppliers within one complex. For producers, it provides a route to businesses engaged in onward distribution. Transactions concern actual consignments and arrangements with individual companies; this is not a financial futures exchange.
Mercasa lists a total site area of 41,094 m², 21 businesses and annual merchandise throughput of 19,545 tonnes. The profile does not identify the observation year, so these figures must not be labelled as 2026 results. The operator describes a 2,340 m² fruit and vegetable pavilion with 26 sales stands. Stands, businesses and individual producers are different measures: a company can occupy several spaces, while a direct-sales stand can serve more than one producer. The figures describe capacity and organisation as well as trade.
A buyer should specify the product, variety, size, packaging and required net weight before requesting an offer. For fish, confirm whether goods are fresh or frozen and when they can be collected; for meat, clarify the cut and temperature requirements. The contact page gives Monday–Friday 06:30–14:00 for produce and meat, and Tuesday–Saturday 06:30–14:00 for fish. Individual companies can operate different schedules, so a published market window should be followed by confirmation of the supplier's loading appointment.
A seller can use the company directory to identify a suitable outlet for a particular crop or food product. A useful proposal states origin, available volume, delivery frequency, lot identification and packing method. Transport, unloading and returnable packaging should be agreed separately, including which party pays each charge. Arriving at the site does not itself establish a right to occupy a sales position. A producer seeking a stand or a regular wholesale relationship should first discuss the applicable arrangement with management or the intended counterparty.
No regular public price series specific to Mercaleón was verified. When comparing suppliers, convert offers to a consistent net-weight basis and check whether packaging, tax and delivery are included. The operator's published telephone number is +34 987 210 001. A short purchasing or supply specification is a useful starting point when asking the administration to direct an enquiry to the appropriate sector or business.
