El Puerto de Santa María Antiques Market

El Puerto de Santa María Antiques Market sets up every Saturday at Plaza del Castillo, one of the street markets in El Puerto de Sta María and listed alongside all markets in the town. Trading runs from 10am to 2pm, and the stalls deal in antiques, books and jewellery rather than the fruit and clothing of a general mercadillo.

What you'll find at El Puerto de Santa María Antiques Market

Three categories fill the square: antiques, books and magazines, and jewellery. Expect furniture, decorative objects and smaller curiosities on the antiques stalls, second-hand and out-of-print editions on the book tables, and vintage silver and costume pieces among the jewellery. Carry cash, since card acceptance at an open-air market like this varies from one stall to the next.
