Around 40 stalls of clothing, footwear and handicrafts on Avenida Unión Europea, every Thursday from 9am to 2pm.
Roquetas de Mar Street Market sets up every Thursday from 9am to 2pm on Avenida Unión Europea, in the 04740 postcode. Around 40 stalls trade for those five hours, selling clothing, footwear and handicrafts, then pack away again by early afternoon. Known in Spanish as the Mercadillo de Roquetas de Mar, it is listed with every market in Roquetas de Mar, or on its own among the street markets in Roquetas de Mar.
What you'll find at Roquetas de Mar Street Market
Clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, and handicrafts are the three product groups here, and between them they account for the 40 or so stalls. That makes this a market for a browse rather than a food shop: no fresh produce, no fish counter. Payment is straightforward either way, since stalls take cash, contactless cards and mobile payments.
Where to stay in Roquetas de Mar
Staying close to the seafront puts you in a great spot for the street market, and Playa de las Salinas is a solid base with easy walking access. The Hotel Sabinal is a popular choice right on the coast, and Hotel Playa Serena offers comfortable rooms not far from the action either.

Get DirectionsHow to get to Roquetas de Mar Street Market
The market sets up on Avenida Unión Europea, 04740 Roquetas de Mar, in Almería province. The site is outdoors with nothing overhead, so a Thursday in July asks for a hat and an early start. It is wheelchair accessible and dogs are welcome. Stalls are gone by 2pm, which leaves the morning as the only realistic window.
