Now Every Saturday!
Markets on the island of Ibiza
It's possibly fair to offer that those who have been to Ibiza but not visited one of the many markets on the island, have missed out on quite an experience. Throughout all seasons on the island, the markets across Ibiza are a hub of activity, social catch-ups, unique local products and good deals. For island visitors the mind might err to "Punta Arabi Hippy Market" in Es Cana or the famed "Las Dalias Market" just on the outskirts of San Carlos.
Lesser well known by island visitors but celebrated by residents are the markets of Sant Jordi (map) and Cala Llenya (Saturday and Sunday, respectively) or the recent but successful Sant Joan Local Products Market (Sundays)
The trading of local products at markets on the island are part of island history, integral to the lifestyle and is honoured to this day.
