Artà Market
The market of Artà is a very popular spot, located in the center of the town. It takes place mainly along the pedestrian street Carrer de Ciutat, in Plaça del Conqueridor, and in nearby streets. The market is open only on Tuesdays, from 09:00 to 14:00.
What makes this market special is the way locals organize it all together. The market is spacious and offers a wide variety of food products, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. There is also an excellent selection of sausages, cheeses, and gourmet products. In addition, you’ll find handicrafts, textiles, footwear, leather goods, wood products, local wines, and more.
If you want to take a break or grab something to eat, there are several bars and restaurants, most of them located around the main square and along the main street.
You can easily combine a visit to the market with a trip to Cala Ratjada or Colònia de Sant Pere to enjoy the nearby beaches.
Artà is easy to reach by car. From Palma, the drive takes about 50 minutes. There are several parking areas at the entrance to the village. You can also take the bus using lines 401 or 411 towards Cala Ratjada. Buses run throughout the day, and the journey takes about one hour and forty-five minutes.
Market of Alcúdia
This is one of the most important weekly markets in Mallorca. It offers everything from household items and fresh food to handmade products and clothes. The market stretches throughout the city, passing through the old town and adjacent streets. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm.
The Alcúdia market mainly caters to locals, but in recent years it has also become popular with tourists and Mallorcans from other parts of the island. The atmosphere is very picturesque, and there is something interesting to discover around every corner. From gastronomic delights to historical surroundings, the experience is diverse and lively. You can find both typical Mallorcan products and goods of African origin.
To visit the market, you can rent a car and use one of the many parking options in town. The distance from Palma de Mallorca is about 54 kilometers, and the drive takes around 40 minutes. Another option is to take a bus that connects Port d’Alcúdia with the city center. There are also taxis and horse-drawn carriages circulating throughout the area.
Market of Inca
The municipal market of Inca is located north of Palma. It is an open-air market and one of the largest on the island. The market is held every Thursday and is well known as the “city of leather.”
Here you’ll find some of the best shoemakers on the island, continuing a long tradition passed down through generations. In large showrooms, visitors can explore high-quality leather and fur products such as bags, suitcases, shoes, coats, and more.
The range of products is very diverse. There are farmer-organized stalls offering fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as local artisans selling pottery and handmade goods. You can even find animals at certain stalls.
The market runs through the historic center of the city and extends into surrounding streets. You can get there by car, but a great option is to take the train. There are approximately 20 trains running daily to Inca
Andratx Market
Andratx is located in the west of Mallorca, about a 30-minute drive from Palma. The market takes place on Wednesdays between 08:00 and 14:00. On market day, the town almost comes to a standstill as it welcomes visitors and showcases its products.
Handicrafts, food, fruits, and vegetables are especially popular here. The stalls stretch from the lower part of the church to the center of town. The houses are decorated with beautiful pergolas that provide shade from the sun. You’ll also find clothes, crockery, household items, jewelry, handbags, and many curiosities. German tourists are particularly frequent visitors to this market.
Beyond the products, the market has a long history dating back to the 13th century. Although Andratx does not have direct access to a beach, it is very popular due to its location in the Tramuntana mountains. To enjoy the sea, head to Port d’Andratx, where you’ll find the sandy beaches of Sant Elm and Camp de Mar.
To reach the market, you can travel from different coastal areas in the southwest of Mallorca. From Palma, take the MA-1 freeway, which is well signposted. There is also a bus line, with a journey time of about one hour.
Market of Calvià
The town of Calvià celebrates a charming weekly tradition in the center of the municipality. The market takes place every Monday and is open from 08:00 to 13:00. Around 60 stalls are set up, offering locally produced food and handicrafts. Other products include clothing, musical instruments, footwear, and more.
The best time to visit is in the morning, before 10:00 am. After that, temperatures rise and the walk through the market can become quite hot. If you come later in the day, prices often drop, especially if it has been a slow day for the traders.
The market is located in the west of Mallorca, close to Palma. You can stay in Calvià, although it is not a very touristy area. From Palma, it takes about 20 minutes by car via the MA-1 freeway. You can also travel by bus using line 111 between Calvià and Palma, but the journey takes around one hour and thirty minutes.
