Street Markets in Roquetas de Mar
Almeria, Andalusia · 4 street markets
Roquetas de Mar has four street markets, and only one of them is a conventional daytime weekly market: the Thursday market on Avenida Unión Europea, where around 40 stalls sell clothing, footwear and handicrafts from 9am to 2pm. The other three run in the evening or at the weekend, so the hour matters here as much as the day. Opening times for the town as a whole sit on the Roquetas de Mar market hub.

What you'll find
None of the four sells fresh produce, so this is not a farmers market town and a stall here is no substitute for a grocery store. What you'll find instead is clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, handicrafts and jewellery, with antiques at the Sunday flea market in Parque de Los Bajos and prepared food and bakery stalls at the Medieval Market on Plaza Castillo de Santa Ana. The rest of the area is covered on the Almería province page.

Market days and opening hours
Sunday is the busiest day, with three of the four trading: the antiques flea market from 10am to 3pm, the Medieval Market from 6pm and the Aguadulce night market from 8pm. Thursday, Friday and Saturday have two apiece, and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday only the Aguadulce night market. Two of the four are seasonal, the Medieval Market from May to September and the Aguadulce market in June, July and August, which leaves the Thursday and Sunday markets running out of season. Bring cash, since the Thursday market is the only one of the four with card and contactless payment recorded.
Where to stay in Roquetas de Mar
Which end of town suits you depends on the market you came for. For the Thursday market on Avenida Unión Europea and the Sunday flea market in Parque de Los Bajos, stay around Roquetas de Mar town centre, where both are a walk away and a 9am start needs no car.
For the summer night market, Aguadulce puts you beside the Puerto Deportivo, and the Hotel Playadulce is close enough to walk back from at 1am.
