Best Menorca Markets to visit

Actually there are different types of markets, some only in summer , some evenings and during special events - they vary in size and what they sell. And of course fresh food markets

We think the best markets onb Menorca are the Summer Night Markets held in June-Sept in Ciutadella, Mahon ,Es Mercadal, Alaior and Es Castell.

Morning Markets

Most Social Media / Forum questions refer to morning (travelling = 'Mercado ambulante') markets ( which operate all year )- they sell clothing, leather goods(handbags,sandals,shoes),costume jewellery that locals and tourists may want( NO FAKE GOODS! eg football shirts). In summer the items extend to summer dresses,swimwear, beach gear eg towels and beach throws and more souvenirs. 'Travelling' is keyword as the SAME stalls may pop up in different locations.

Summer Night Markets - Crafts, Artisan

From early June to September Menorca's summer markets can be found evenings in Ciutadella/Mahon, many of menorca's towns and a few beach resorts (market Locations/Days ). They invite you to wander. Mostly artensal, they also offer some individual toys for children but mostly something fashionable for the ladies and ( often handmade ) artistic souvenirs.

Es Castell - Every MONDAY in July /August summer along the pedestrian area above the harbour. A variety of Artisan Crafts, Food and live Music. A great way to combine a visit to Cales fonts bars and restaurant - this is an ADDITIONAL market

Es Castell is particularly charming combining all the bar and resturants of the two Harbours with Artisan stalls and half a dozen Clothing, Fashion and Shoes shops that open out of converted Fisherman's caves in the late afternoon/evening.

Menorca Summer Markets - times and days

Some of the beach resort markets are smaller versions of travelling clothes/souvenirs = not so great - better ones have Handicraft stalls ( Artesano ) with dress accessories, hand made craft and Jewellery and are nearly always in the evenings. They are only in the peak summer period mid June to end of August/Mid September dependent on location.

The popular Ciutadella,Mahon ,Es Mercadal,Alaior and Es Castell evening markets are ( better ) more Artisan / Eclectic : featuring homemade foods, clothing, Jewellery , decorations and craft objects. Great to take in along with Cafe bars and musical events which often accompany them on warm summer evenings.
