About Mercat de Santanyí
What you'll find
Santanyí's market takes over the streets of the town centre, and the golden sandstone the town is built from does a lot of the work: the stalls run between honey-coloured buildings, which is why this one gets photographed more than any other market in the Migjorn. The Balearic Government's tourism service puts it at more than 150 stalls. The food side covers local produce, cheese, preserves, sausages, olives, wines and spirits, and the rest is flowers, clothing, kitchen and decorative bits, and craftwork. It's a mixed market, not a pure food market, and it's busier and more visitor-facing than the inland ones.
When to go
Wednesday and Saturday, in the morning. Both the Ajuntament de Santanyí and the Balearic Government describe it as a morning market, and neither publishes clock hours, so we don't print any. Third-party guides disagree with each other on the times, which is exactly why we've left it out. The ajuntament also notes that stall numbers rise by around ten percent in summer, so the market is at its largest in the warm months.
Eating around the market
The market runs straight past a good cluster of our Santanyí coverage. Seven ranked Guidavera restaurants sit within a short walk, four of them within about 120 metres of Plaça Major: La Nouvelle Famille, Sa Botiga, Restaurant Laudat and OCRE Restaurant & Bar.
Mercat de Santanyí FAQ
What day is the Santanyí market?
Wednesday and Saturday mornings, in the streets around Plaça Major. Both the Ajuntament de Santanyí and the Balearic Government's tourism service confirm those two days.
What time does the Santanyí market open and close?
Official sources describe it only as a morning market and don't publish clock times. Third-party guides disagree (8:00 to 13:00 and 9:00 to 14:00 both circulate), so we don't print an hour. Go in the morning and you'll be fine.
Is the Santanyí market worth visiting?
If you like markets set in old towns rather than car parks, yes. It runs through the golden sandstone streets of the centre and is officially more than 150 stalls, which makes it one of the larger weekly markets we cover. It's mixed rather than food-only, and it's one of the busier ones in season.
