Choosing between the two weekly markets
Monday belongs to the coast. The Vera Playa market is the larger of the pair, and the stalls follow the resort trade, so clothing, footwear and leather goods fill most of the rails. Saturday's market on Calle del Mar is smaller but sits in the old town, and it is the one to pick if you want handicrafts, jewellery or books and magazines alongside the clothing. The two sites are a short drive apart, which makes it easy to do both in a week. For the town's covered food shopping, see the municipal markets page or all markets in Vera; other market towns nearby are listed on the Almería province page.

Where to stay in Vera
Vera town centre puts you within walking distance of Calle del Mar for the Saturday market, with cafés open before the stalls are ready. For the Monday market, Vera Playa is the closer base and has the wider choice of hotels and apartments. Both markets open at 8am and the best stock goes first, so staying beside the one you actually want beats driving over. A car is still worth having if you plan to catch both.
What day is the market in Vera?
Vera has street markets on two days: Monday at Vera Playa and Saturday in the town centre. The Monday market on Avenida Ciudad de Murcia is the larger of the pair at around 50 stalls, and the Saturday market on Calle del Mar runs about 30. Both trade from 8am to 1pm.
What time do street markets in Vera open?
Street markets in Vera open at 8am and finish at 1pm, on both the Monday at Vera Playa and the Saturday in the town centre. The last hour is the quietest, and traders start breaking down before 1pm, so a mid-morning visit gives you the fullest run of the 50 stalls at the beach market.
