Mojácar Antiques Market

Mojácar Antiques Market, or Mercadillo de Antigüedades de Mojácar, sets up on Avenida de Andalucía in Mojacar, Almería, every Sunday from 10am to 3pm. Fifty stalls trade for those five hours and then pack away, so a Sunday morning is the only window there is. It is one of several street markets in Mojacar, and the only one given over to antiques.

What you'll find at Mojácar Antiques Market

Antiques are the single category here, across all 50 stalls, which is what separates this Sunday market from a general mercadillo selling clothes and produce alongside everything else. Dealers set out what they have brought that week, so stock turns over from one Sunday to the next and two visits rarely show you the same tables.

Everything trades in the open air along the avenue, with no covered hall, so a wet or windy Sunday can thin the line of stalls. Card acceptance is not recorded for the traders here, and small dealers commonly take cash only, so carry enough of it to buy on the spot rather than plan to come back.

How to get to Mojácar Antiques Market

The stalls run along Avenida de Andalucía in Mojácar, on the flat rather than up in the hilltop pueblo, which makes the walk in easier than the old town's stepped streets suggest. Almería's other market towns are covered on the province page if you are building a week around several of them.

Where to stay in Mojacar

Staying in Mojácar Pueblo, the hilltop old town, puts you within easy reach of the antiques market and gives you a real feel for the town. The Parador de Mojácar is a reliable option right on the seafront if you prefer something more comfortable, with the pueblo just a short drive away.

For a mid-range pick, the Hotel El Puntazo sits on Mojácar Playa and is well placed if you want to combine the market with some beach time. Either way, you won't need much more than a car and ten minutes to get where you're going.

What day is Mojácar Antiques Market?

Mojácar Antiques Market runs on Sundays, from 10am to 3pm, every week of the year. Those five hours are the whole of it: the 50 stalls set up on Avenida de Andalucía in the morning and are gone by mid afternoon, and there is no second trading day anywhere in the week.

Where is Mojácar Antiques Market?

Mojácar Antiques Market sets up along Avenida de Andalucía in Mojácar, in the province of Almería, eastern Andalusia. The stalls line the avenue itself rather than filling a square, and the market is entirely open air, with no indoor hall to retreat into if the weather turns.

What can you buy at Mojácar Antiques Market?

Antiques are what the 50 stalls at Mojácar Antiques Market sell, and the only category recorded for it. That makes it a specialist Sunday market rather than a general one, so you should not count on finding the fruit, veg and clothing stalls that fill most other mercadillos along this stretch of the Almería coast.

Do you need cash at Mojácar Antiques Market?

Card acceptance is not confirmed for any stall at Mojácar Antiques Market, so carry cash. Payment at an antiques market is settled with the individual dealer rather than a central till, and the amount you need depends entirely on what you are buying, from a small collectible to a piece of furniture.
