The Chiclana Street Market is the largest outdoor market in town, with 35 stalls spread across the site selling clothing, footwear, handicrafts, and books. It runs weekly and is the go-to option for general shopping. The Besugo Market is a solid second, with 25 stalls focused on handicrafts, jewellery, and clothing, also held weekly outdoors.
La Canalla Night Market offers a different atmosphere from the daytime options, with stalls selling handicrafts, jewellery, clothing, and prepared foods after dark. The MelkArt Craft Fair follows a similar format, with an emphasis on crafts and jewellery alongside prepared food stalls, making both good choices if you are looking for something beyond everyday shopping.
The remaining three street markets each have their own character. The Chiclana Campano Flea Market and the Chiclana Second-Hand Market both focus on used clothing and books, with the Second-Hand Market also carrying antiques, making it worth a visit if you are after something older or unusual.
