Mallorca's weekly markets: which town to visit on which day

Pick a day and there is a market within an hour's drive. Wednesday and Saturday are the strongest days, with Sineu and Santanyí on Wednesday and Santanyí, Sóller and Alaró on Saturday. Sunday belongs to the north, with Pollença and Alcúdia. The table below lists the markets we would actually drive to, day by day.

Markets in Mallorca are morning affairs. Stalls go up early, the best produce goes first, and by early afternoon the square is being swept. Plan to arrive by 9am, bring a basket and some cash, and leave time for a coffee on the square once you have shopped.

Which Mallorca town has its weekly market on which day?

Every weekday and both weekend days have several markets. This is our selection, checked against the town councils' market rules where they are published and against current listings for 2026. Days can shift around public holidays and local fiestas, so check before you go.

Which are the best weekly markets in Mallorca to visit?

If you only have time for a few, choose by what you want from the morning: tradition, food, crafts or a town worth exploring afterwards.

Sineu on Wednesday: the traditional one

Sineu, in the centre of the island, has traded on Wednesdays for centuries and its market has long been counted the most important outside Palma and Inca. Stalls spread through the old town around the parish church, and there is still a section for live animals. Parking fills quickly, so arrive early.

Santanyí on Wednesday and Saturday: the stylish one

The Santanyí market fills the Plaça Major and the streets around the church with more than 150 stalls: cheese, sobrassada, olives, wine, flowers, linen and pottery. Saturday draws the bigger crowd. Combine it with lunch in town and an afternoon on the coast; our Santanyí day trip has the route.

Inca on Thursday: the big one

Inca's Thursday market spreads across the town centre, with clothing and leather goods as the largest sections, reflecting the town's shoe and leather history. The fresh produce stalls gather on the square in front of Santa Maria la Major. In November the same streets host Dijous Bo, Mallorca's best known autumn fair.

Sóller on Saturday: the mountain one

Sóller's Saturday market brings the valley's oranges, local produce and crafts into the centre, and the covered market hall on Plaça del Mercat adds fish, cheese and sobrassada. Take the old wooden train from Palma and make a day of it.

Pollença on Sunday: the one for a lazy morning

On Sunday mornings Pollença's old town hosts more than 300 stalls around the Plaça Major and Plaça de Ca les Monnares, with farm produce, much of it organic, alongside crafts and clothing. Walk the 365 steps of the Calvari afterwards to earn your lunch.

Which markets are open in Palma, and when do they close?

Palma's covered market halls are open Monday to Saturday and closed on Sundays. They are where locals shop daily, and where you can eat well at the bar counters between the stalls.

• Mercat de l'Olivar, Plaça de l'Olivar, the city's main market hall since 1951, with fish, meat, produce and food bars. Its own website gives Monday to Friday 7:00 to 14:30 (some stalls open until 20:00) and Saturday 7:00 to 15:00, closed on Sundays.
• Mercat de Santa Catalina, Plaça de la Navegació, the oldest of Palma's municipal markets, with around 50 stalls. Its official hours are Monday to Saturday, shops 7:00 to 15:00 and food bars 7:00 to 17:00; the fish counters close on Mondays. Read our guide to Santa Catalina and its market.
• Organic market, Plaça del Bisbe Berenguer de Palou, on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, for certified organic produce from island growers.

Hours change on public holidays, so check before you go. For the shops we recommend beyond the markets, see our Mallorca shopping guide, and for more on the halls themselves, our markets page.

What should you buy at a Mallorcan market?

Buy what the island grows and makes. Produce is seasonal and often sold by the farmer who grew it, and the dry goods travel home well.

• Seasonal fruit and vegetables: Sóller oranges in winter, apricots and cherries in early summer, figs in late summer, tomàtigues de ramellet (the island's hanging tomatoes) in autumn.
• Sobrassada and cheese: the island's soft cured pork sausage, the finest made from the native black pig, and local cheeses alongside Mahón from neighbouring Menorca.
• Olive oil and olives: look for the Oli de Mallorca designation; our guide to Mallorca olive oil explains what to taste for.
• Salt and almonds: flor de sal from the salt pans of the south and Mallorcan almonds make easy gifts.
• Crafts: baskets, Pòrtol pottery, roba de llengües (the island's ikat cloth) and sculptures in local stone.

How do you get the most out of a Mallorca market morning?

1. Arrive by 9am, before the coach parties and while the produce is at its best.
2. Carry cash in small notes; many stallholders do not take cards.
3. Bring your own bag or basket.
4. Walk the whole market once before you buy; the best stalls are not always on the main square.
5. Finish with a coffee or a pa amb oli on the square and watch the town at work.
6. Check the town council's website before a special trip, as markets can move or pause during fiestas.

Our print guide called the markets the place where Mallorca "lives and breathes", and that has not changed. They are still the simplest way to see a town as its residents do.
