Markets

Step back in time, mix with the locals, and appreciate products made on Mallorca!

Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, please bear in mind that some markets have reduced capacity and masks are obligatory. Mallorca’s markets are an excellent way to get to know the island and the locals. Every day from 9.00 – 13.30, there are several markets, the most important one is the market in Pollensa on Sundays. This market is visited by thousands of people coming from all part of the island. Other good markets to visit are the markets of Santa Maria (also on Sundays), Sineu (on Wednesdays) and Inca (Thursdays). The markets in Mallorca are an excellent place to shop for flowers, fruit and vegetable, local produce such as Mallorcan sobrassada or butifarron and cheese. There are usually also market stalls offering handicrafts, leather bags, handmade jewellery, accessories and clothes.

Mallorca, local traditions are cherished by the people who live here – seen no more apparent than at a food market. Known for being a weekly meeting point, markets are where the locals come to peruse the latest offering, do their weekly fruit and vegetable shop and have a good old natter. Normally found in the main square, a traditional market will occupy the centre of the town, drawing people from all over the area.
Whether you’re a frequent visitor to Mallorca or an expat living here, the curiosity to learn more about the island’s culture starts at a traditional market.

1. POLLENSA MARKET

Every Sunday between 8am and 1:30pm, a market consisting of up to 300 stalls fills the streets of Pollensa in the oldest part of town. The heart of the market is found in Plaza Mayor, the main square, which then trickles into the surrounding side streets. Sweet artisan products are in abundance here with plenty of stalls selling ceramic bowls, wicker bags and home-made jewellery. It’s the ideal place for anyone looking to add a touch of Mallorca artwork to their home! The quaint aesthetic of Pollensa town makes this a lovely market to peruse, take your time and stop off at one of the pretty cafés that pepper the streets. Given it is a Sunday, the atmosphere is laid-back and the pace of those shopping is at a steady pace. However, as the day progresses crowds form and the narrow streets can feel tight, therefore the earlier you visit the better.

2. INCA MARKET

This is by far one of Mallorca’s biggest markets and best known for its leather goods. Hours easily drift by as you approach stall after stall of leather shoes, bags and jackets. Due to its size, this market covers all areas so visitors can start at a stall of leather belts and soon find themselves browsing flower pots and home-made soaps. The diversity in produce is extensive and this feeds into the vibrancy of the people that shop there. Inca is relied upon by many of the surrounding villages for its rich variety of goods and this is felt in the gatherings of people that socialise between stalls. Find the market in the main street of Gran Via Colom every Thursday between 8am – 1pm.  

3. SANTA MARÍA MARKET

Another Sunday market and definitely one to visit if you’re after a local farmer’s market. If you arrive on a “non-market” day, you would stumble across a sleepy Mallorcan village where local retirees play cards in the afternoon sun. However, when market day arrives in Santa María the whole village comes alive, attracting shoppers from the surrounding area. From 8am to 1pm, crowds descend on the little town to buy fruit, vegetables, flowers and small livestock. The main concentration of stalls is found in Plaza Nova where restaurants and cafés circle the exterior – perfect for taking a break for a morning coffee. Santa María market is recommended for those after organic produce and wine – the area is loved by wine-lovers for its variety of grape!

4. SINEU MARKET

Every Wednesday between 8am and 1pm, Sineu becomes a hot-spot for farmers and land owners on the island thanks to its agricultural and livestock market. Out of all the markets, Sineu is the most traditional and still to this day continues to sell animals. Stalls selling fresh fruits, plants and flowers can also be found in the mix, as well as clothes, jewellery and textiles. The main hub of the market takes place in the main square Plaza Des Fossar, where visitors will find the stalls scattered down surrounding streets. Definitely worth a visit for those interested in rural living on Mallorca and understanding local agriculture. Be prepared, you might come home with some lambs, goats or a donkey!

Most markets on Mallorca are well-connected and accessible by bus particularly if you are coming from Palma. Otherwise it is much easier to go by car which allows you the flexibility to stay for as long as you want – a simple two-hour market peruse might soon turn into half a day! Given that markets like Sineu and Santa María are in rural areas, do expect to find parking difficult (particularly in the summer months).

“Numerous second hand markets are also held in Mallorca.”

It is very interesting to visit a local market, both children and adults have a very pleasant time. There you can buy items for the beach, gifts for the family, or enjoy appetizing freshly picked fruit.

Also noteworthy are the second hand markets such as the Consell Market held on Sunday or Llucmajor, which also has its second hand section. Other markets with second-hand items are; Santa María del Camí on Sunday, Inca on Sunday, Poligono Son Bugadelles Calviá on Saturday and the “Baratillo” in the Avenues of Palma on Saturdays from April to October.

The essence of traditional Mallorca is distilled at its markets. As locals gather in their town’s main square to buy fresh local produce and handcrafted treasures, visitors get a glimpse of what life must have been before the island became the tourist magnet it is today. Of course, they’re also the perfect place to get your hands on a unique souvenir from your holiday or to sample some of the delicious fruit, veg, cheese, olive oil, wine and cured meats that Mallorca has to offer.

Markets usually follow a similar pattern with fresh produce around the main square and specialist local produce fanning out from there. Be sure to check out the cheese, cured meats, olive oil and salt offerings. Handmade jewellery, arts & crafts, inexpensive clothing and household goods can also usually be found. And worry not about the language barriers, the locals love it if they see that you are making an effort to blend in, no matter the quality of your Spanglish.

Top 9 markets to visit in Mallorca

Almost every town in Mallorca has a weekly market, each held on a different day of the week. This means that there’s more than enough opportunity to visit a market on the island during your stay but it also means that you may find it hard to choose which market to go to once you’re here. That’s why we’ve created a list of the 9 markets we believe are the best on the island.

1. Palma Markets
From street food markets to traditional indoor markets, markets selling organic fruit and veg, fresh fish, second-hand items, arts & crafts… There’s a market in Palma for every kind of visitor.

2. Alcudia Market
One of the largest on the island, Alcúdia Market is for history buffs as the stalls are placed inside the town’s ancient walls and near the Roman ruins of Pol·lèntia.

3. Arta Market
Very popular with tourists and locals, Artá Market is famous for its tangy local olives and handcrafted ceramics.

6. Pollença Market
Held in the town’s main square, under the gaze of its 18th-century church, Pollença market is perfect for a relaxed morning of shopping followed by a ‘cortado’ in one of the Plaça Major’s many terraces.

7. Santanyí Market
Santanyí Market stands out because of its location within the town’s narrow winding streets where you can get lost for hours.

Mallorca’s capital city, Palma, hosts all sorts of markets.

Which are the best markets in Palma de Mallorca?
We reckon you can happily amble your way through any of the following, in no particular order.

Olivar Market (Monday to Saturday) – Map & details
The Mercat de l’Olivar is the biggest and best indoor shopping experience in the city. Famous for its top-notch food with a great range of fruit, veg, meat and a well-stocked fish market, the Mercat de l’Olivar has been welcoming locals and visitors since 1953. Open every day except Sundays, Olivar is much more than just a market as it has a selection of bars and restaurants ranging from traditional cafes and tapas places to Italian pasta, sushi and poke. Get lost in its seemingly infinite aisles lined with the freshest produce and mingle with the locals.

Santa Catalina Market (Monday to Saturday) – Map & details
The city’s gastronomic neighbourhood, Santa Catalina, has its own food shopping hub. Open every day but for Sundays, the Mercat de Santa Catalina is another traditional indoor market boasting rows upon rows of colourful fruit and veg, fresh fish, local meat and handmade cheese. There’s also a rotisserie, two sushi stalls and an oyster bar

Pere Garau Market (Monday to Saturday) – Map & details
Located at the heart of Palma’s Pere Garau neighbourhood, northeast from the old centre, this is another indoor market open from Monday to Saturday. What makes Pere Garau special is the outdoor market on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, the only one in Palma selling live animals. Farmers from neighbouring towns and groups of locals flock to this lively market in the east of the city in the search for fresh produce and cheap clothes.

Llotja del Peix Fish Market (Monday to Saturday) – Map & details
Get here early as the night’s catch goes on sale from around 06:00. Fresh mullet, prawns, sardines and sea bass are hawked by women with operatic voices at Es Moll de Pescadors

San Juan (every day) – Map & details | Mercat 1930 (every day) – Map & details
The gastronomic market trend has hit Palma hard and the city now boasts two of these foodie hot spots. Not your typical markets, the Mercado Gastronómico de San Juan and Mercat 1930 have a street-food vibe, hosting dozens of stalls offering food from all around the world. Local Mallorcan cuisine, tapas and traditional vermouth bars coexist here with sushi bars, Thai curries and fresh oysters. They’re open until late on weekends so they are the perfect spot to start your night out in town with some scrumptious food and crafty cocktails.

Mercat Artesanal Plaça Major (depending on time of year) – Map & details
This lively craft market on the Plaça Major of Palma has dozens of stalls selling arts & crafts and is the perfect place to spend a morning in town, as there are buskers playing live music and open-air cafes where you can have a coffee in the sun after a spot of shopping. Opening days depend on the time of the year

Organic & bio market (Tuesday & Saturday) – Map & details
Taking place every Tuesday and Saturday in the centre of the city, the Mercat Eco de Palma is a relatively recent addition to Mallorca’s market scene, following on the demand for more organic produce and products on the island. 

Rastro Flea Market (Saturdays) – Map & details
A Palma institution, the Rastro flea market takes place every Saturday morning. It may have lost some of its charm as it was moved from the centre of the city to the industrial area of Son Fuster, on the outskirts, but this is still the place to browse among heaps of second-hand items containing plenty of bargains (and lots of junk too), from old furniture to vintage clothing, jewellery, art, books and much more.

Village markets in Mallorca
