Which markets to visit in Ibiza? These are the ones you can't miss!
There are plenty of activities to do and places to visit that will make your stay here unforgettable.
But beaches, partying, culture, hippie history and gastronomy are not the only things that characterize the island.
If you have done a little research into the activities you can enjoy during your holidays here, you are sure to be familiar with some of Ibiza's street markets.
And if you don't know them or you want to check if you haven't visited one yet, don't miss this post.
Las Dalias street market
It is probably one of the best known and a reference point for hippie culture.
In terms of hippie markets in Ibiza, it is one of the largest and has more stalls to stop and browse, as well as a unique atmosphere that you can enjoy during the day or even at night if you go in summer.
In addition to the stalls, you'll also find live music, a restaurant and several food and juice stalls.
It is held all day on Saturdays, and in summer also on Monday, Tuesday and Sunday evenings.
They even offer nightlife in a specialized room for this purpose, in an atmosphere quite different from that of the traditional discotheques.
Don't miss the experience of visiting the Mercadillo de Las Dalias!
Es Canar street market
Although it is perhaps less well known than Las Dalias, the fact is that it is the one that started the legacy of Ibiza's hippie markets, and it is still the largest.
Here you'll find everything from handicrafts to products from all over the world, as well as second-hand goods.
And as usual, you can stop for a bite to eat or a drink in the various bars and restaurants while you enjoy the live music.
If you visit the True Hippie Market in Es Canar, which is held on Wednesdays, you'll get a taste of the original experience of this long-standing tradition of hippie Ibiza. Isn't it the perfect plan after a day at the beach?
Local craft markets
Fancy getting away from the Bohemian atmosphere? Then don't miss the long list of Ibiza's most traditional markets.
Come and discover Ibiza's handicrafts!
CALA LLONGA MARKET
It has been held for decades on Thursdays on the promenade of the small town of Cala Llonga, which makes it an ideal place to visit after a day at the beach.
Here you will find mainly fashion accessories and costume jewellery.
SAN RAFAEL MARKET
In this market you can enjoy the most traditional works of pottery made by Ibizan artisans, as well as fruit from local farmers.
It is held every Thursday in the center of the village, which we also encourage you to visit.
SANTA GERTRUDIS HANDICRAFT MARKET
This town is a must-see, as it is one of the most charming on the island.
If you plan to pass through this location on a Friday afternoon, you can also enjoy a small flea market in the church square.
There you will find wonderful paintings, jewelry and handmade souvenirs for a special gift.
Not to be missed!
Sant Jordi street market
The Sant Jordi second-hand market is held all year round on Saturday mornings at the racecourse.
It is one of the Ibicenco's favorites, as you can find practically everything at low prices, and it also has good parking.
And that's not all! You can enjoy live music throughout your visit, as percussionists pass through the stands and even organize jam sessions.
If you're looking for something specific or just want to pass the time, it's a great idea to visit the Sant Jordi flea market.
Other street markets in Ibiza
We have only shown you some of the most popular and unique markets on the island, but there are still more to discover.
Some of these hidden gems are for example the Forada market and the San José market, which have the particularity of offering organic products and Ibicencan food or liquors, as well as handicrafts.
Another of the great classics is the San Miguel market, which used to be held on Thursdays from 18:00, although there is no news at the moment as to when it will be held again.
What you will be able to enjoy at that time is a demonstration of the traditional Ball Pagès by Sa Colla de Balansat.
We recommend you attend if you happen to have gone sailing in the north of Ibiza and ended up in Port de San Miguel.
