Mallorca's weekly markets

Markets are held every weekday in various places on Mallorca. In addition to fresh produce such as fruit, vegetables, meat and fish, they also offer all kinds of Mediterranean specialities such as spices, silver jewellery, clothing, earthenware and leather shoes, mainly from local farmers. A visit is not only worthwhile for the Spanish flair, but also to sample the delicious Mallorcan market goods such as sobrasada or Serrano ham directly from the producer.

sunbonoo travel tip: The best way to start a day trip is with a visit to a weekly market in the area. The markets take place in the morning from around 8.30 am to 1 pm. Early risers beat the tourist groups. For bargain hunters, however, it is worth waiting until the end of the market, when the traders are ready to haggle. The weekly markets are located in the city centre and are easy to find.
