About Mercat de Pere Garau
What you'll find
Pere Garau is the least polished and most local of Palma's three covered markets, and that's the appeal. The hall itself holds the usual mix of fruit and vegetables, fish, meat and island produce. What sets it apart is the open-air market that fills the surrounding streets on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings, when growers come in from around the island and sell direct. It's a working market for the neighbourhood rather than a stop on a tourist route, and the produce reflects that.
When to go
The covered hall trades mornings, Monday to Saturday. The open-air days are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and those mornings are the reason to make the trip: the street stalls are what you can't get at l'Olivar or Santa Catalina. We haven't been able to confirm a precise opening time from the ajuntament or the market itself, so we're not going to print one. Treat it as a morning market and check locally before you plan around it.
Eating around the market
Pere Garau sits east of the old town, away from the restaurant density of the centre, so the nearby list is thinner than for the other two Palma markets: nine ranked Guidavera restaurants within about a kilometre, with Asador Bolixe and the wine bar Burgundí the closest.
