Markets in Capdepera

Capdepera is a small town, so staying central means you're never far from the action. The area around Capdepera Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the local markets and the hilltop castle.

If you prefer to be near the coast, Cala Rajada is just a couple of kilometres away and has a good choice of hotels and apartments, making it a practical base for exploring both the markets and the beach.

Five of the six are outdoor street markets, setting up in the open in the morning and packing away the same day. Between them you'll find fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, cheese, local honey and olive oil alongside clothing, footwear, plants and handicrafts.

Spread across different days rather than clustered on one, they amount to a rolling weekly programme.

Capdepera Market is the municipality's only covered hall, with 15 stalls trading under a roof rather than in the open. The same counters are there week after week, which is how residents rather than holidaymakers tend to shop. Details are listed with the town's other markets.

Monday has one market, Tuesday none, Wednesday three, Thursday, Friday and Saturday two each, and Sunday nothing anywhere in the municipality. A week's stay catches all six without much planning, while a weekend visitor is limited to Saturday.

Most stalls keep hours of 09:00 to 14:00, so arriving around nine gives you the full spread before the tables start coming down.

Capdepera's markets trade on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Wednesday is the busiest, with three of the town's six markets open at once, while Thursday, Friday and Saturday have two each and Monday just one. Tuesday and Sunday have nothing trading anywhere in the municipality.

No, no market in Capdepera trades on a Sunday, and Tuesday is closed too. The nearest options are Saturday, when two of the town's six markets run, and Monday, when one does. Both keep the usual hours of 09:00 to 14:00, so a Sunday visitor is better off planning around the Saturday morning.

Capdepera's markets open at 09:00 and close at 14:00. That holds across the town's five street markets and its municipal hall, so the practical window is the morning: arrive by half past nine for the full spread of stalls, and expect traders to start packing up before two.

Capdepera's markets sell fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, local honey and olive oil, alongside clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, flowers and plants, handicrafts and prepared foods. The food stalls are the reason to come early, since produce is picked over well before the 14:00 close.
