Bolonia Municipal Street Market

Bolonia Municipal Street Market sets up every Wednesday from 9am to 2pm on El Lentiscal, in the Bolonia area of Tarifa, along the coast north-west of the town itself in Cádiz province. Around 25 stalls sell clothing, handicrafts, flowers and plants, and every one of them takes cash only.

What you'll find at Bolonia Street Market

The mercadillo leans towards clothing and textiles, handicrafts and plants rather than fresh produce. Expect casual wear and accessories on the clothing pitches, craft work from local artisans, and seasonal flowers and potted plants. There are no food stalls in the mix, so this is a morning's browsing rather than a shop for lunch.

The whole market is outdoors, the pitch is wheelchair accessible, and dogs are welcome alongside you.
