Summer markets in Mallorca 2024: visit all of them
The island’s beaches, the climate, its people, the gastronomy, and... the summer markets that you can visit throughout Mallorca in 2024. Did you know that many of them can be visited at night?
Indeed. At Mon Port, we understand that during the day you enjoy our facilities and everything the hotel, Andratx, the port, and its surroundings have to offer. But we also want you to experience something unique, outdoors, that both locals and tourists love. It provides an ideal mix of tradition, fresh products, and craftsmanship in a cozy and festive atmosphere.
Night Markets in Mallorca: Visit Them After Dark
To make the most of both day and night, but especially to escape the high temperatures that hit the island in mid-July and almost August, night markets have become a popular option to ensure you don’t miss a thing.
You can visit them in towns like Artá, Santanyí, or Porto Cristo, which have extended their usual hours to organize evening markets open late into the night.
These charming spaces seem lost in time, with special lighting, soft music, and an almost mystical atmosphere.
It's a wonderful idea to enjoy shopping and the ambiance of one of the most popular gatherings in Mallorcan towns during the cooler hours of the day.
Seeking Local Crafts and Sustainability
There’s a growing emphasis on promoting local Mallorcan crafts and sustainable products.
The markets in Sineu, Inca, or Pollença feature stalls from local artisans where you can find traditional Mallorcan ceramics, handmade jewelry crafted from various materials, clothing with original and distinctive designs, and shoes made from recycled materials.
Local artists and artisans come together to encourage more responsible consumption practices.
Gastronomy and Fresh Products
Farmers and livestock breeders, known as "payeses" in Mallorcan, remain the heart and soul of Mallorca’s markets.
In towns like Alcudia or Santa María del Camí, visitors seek fresh produce from the countryside, from seasonal fruits and vegetables to traditional sausages and artisan cheeses.
Sustainability is also trending here, with a proliferation of organic and locally sourced products, reflecting a growing need for more natural and sustainable food.
Summer Markets 2024: New Attractions
Modernity has also found its way into the island’s traditional markets. For example, in Sóller, visitors can participate in a mini workshop to make llonguets, the traditional Mallorcan bread that makes breakfasts and snacks even more delicious.
In Felanitx, there are demonstrations of llatra weaving, a fiber obtained from the leaves of specific palm trees, widely used to make all kinds of local artisan products.
Many markets now feature live music and cultural performances. In Cala Rajada, visitors are often surprised with traditional Mallorcan dance performances.
For a different experience, Manacor hosts a market dedicated to organic products, Binissalem has one for antiques and vintage items, and in Magaluf, there is an urban art fair attracting a younger, more cosmopolitan crowd.
