Markets in El Puerto de Santa Maria
Cadiz, Andalusia
El Puerto de Santa Maria has five published markets, all of them within the one town, so a short stay can take in more than one. They work on a fixed weekly rota rather than opening daily, which means the day you arrive decides what you can shop for.

Tours & Activities in El Puerto de Santa Maria
Market days and hours
Sunday is the busiest day, with three of the five markets trading. Tuesday has two. Monday and Wednesday each have one, and Wednesday is the quietest of the trading days. Thursday, Friday and Saturday have no published market at all, which catches out visitors who assume Saturday is the market morning here.
The most common opening hours across the five are 18:00 to 00:00. These are evening markets more than morning ones, so do not turn up at nine in the morning expecting stalls to be out. Times vary from market to market, so check the individual page for the one you want before you set off.
Street markets in El Puerto de Santa Maria
All five are street markets in El Puerto de Santa Maria, set up outdoors on their trading day and packed away the same evening. That is worth knowing in winter, when a wet morning changes the experience considerably, and in high summer, when the later hours are the comfortable ones.
Because the town's markets are spread across the week rather than concentrated in one hall, the sensible approach is to pick your day first and plan the walk second. El Puerto is compact, and the province page for Cadiz is the place to look if you want to add a market in a neighbouring town to the same trip.

Shopping for groceries at the markets
If you are looking for a grocery store near your accommodation, the town's markets cover a good part of the same shopping list on their trading days, and they do it with produce you can see and ask about. With three markets on Sunday, the day most grocery shops keep short hours or close, the market rota fills an obvious gap in the week.
For a full weekly shop you will still want a supermarket, since no market here trades on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Treat the five markets as the fresh part of the trip and the shops as the rest of it.
How many markets are there in El Puerto de Santa Maria?
Five, all within the town itself, and all of them outdoor street markets.
Which day has the most markets?
Sunday, with three of the five trading. Tuesday has two, and Monday and Wednesday one each.
What time do the markets open?
The most common hours are 18:00 to 00:00, so most trading happens in the evening. Individual markets vary, so check the page for the specific one.
Is there a market on Saturday?
No. There is no published market in the town on Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
Where can you sell handmade items?
Stalls are allocated by each market's own organisers rather than centrally, so ask at the market on its trading day. The official El Puerto de Santa Maria tourism site is the best starting point for contact details.
