Almeria, Andalusia · 3 street markets
Street markets in Mojacar run on two days of the week, one on Wednesday and two on Sunday, and all three keep to roughly the same hours of 9am to 3pm.

When the markets run
Sunday is the busy day here, with two of the town's three street markets trading, against one on Wednesday. That makes a weekend visit the one that shows you most of the scene in a single morning, and it is the reason the Sunday antiques and secondhand stalls are the ones people travel for. Nothing sets up on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday, so plan around those two days. The city's full market listing covers every market in Mojacar, street and indoor alike.

What you'll find on the stalls
Antiques and secondhand books and magazines are the character of Mojacar's street markets, alongside clothing and textiles and locally made handicrafts. Traders start packing up before the 3pm close, so the first two hours after the 9am opening are when the tables are still full. Carry cash: card acceptance varies from one stall to the next. Almería province runs hundreds more, listed on the province page if you are driving the coast.
Where to stay in Mojacar
The town splits in two, and which half you sleep in decides how easy the markets are. Mojacar Pueblo, the hilltop old town, puts you within walking distance of the squares the stalls set up in, which matters at a 9am start when the approach road fills with parked cars. Mojacar Playa has the beachfront hotels and apartments and is a short drive up, so a car is worth having if you stay down there.
