Markets in Ibiza, our recommendations to you

We all know the White Isle is famous for its hippy heritage which is why if you ask a local for a recommendation of a market in Ibiza you will no doubt be told of the infamous Hippy Market in Punta Arabi on Wednesday in Es Cana and the Las Dalias market on Saturdays in San Carlos. These are not however the only markets you can visit in Ibiza.

During the summer months there are an abundance of ‘mercadillos’ dotted about the island offering local handicrafts, clothes, jewellery and other treasures sourced from places all over the world. Markets vary in size, quality and type of goods sold; from daily markets in the touristy areas of the island to smaller car boot sale style markets that attract the locals. Here’s our pick of the markets worth taking a look around this summer.

There are a number of smaller street markets in Ibiza which open daily throughout the summer: Ibiza Town – at the port in front of the harbour this market is especially good for those hunting for some new jewelry.
