Capdepera Market

Capdepera Market is the town's indoor municipal market, open one morning a week on Plaça de l'Orient in the centre of Capdepera, in the northeast corner of Mallorca. Fifteen stalls trade every Wednesday from 7am to 1pm, selling fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, local honey and olive oil.

About Capdepera Market

This is a small market, and being indoors it works in any weather, which is not something you can say of the open-air stalls that set up in the same town. Fifteen stalls is a size you can walk in a few minutes, so it suits a food shop rather than a morning of browsing. It is one of the municipal markets in Capdepera, and if you are after clothes, baskets and general goods instead, look at the street markets in Capdepera.

The 7am start is aimed at people cooking that day, and the doors close at 1pm sharp. Stalls take cash, and mobile payment is accepted too.

What to buy at Capdepera Market

Fresh vegetables and fruit take up much of the floor, alongside counters for meat and poultry and for cheese and dairy. The two things worth carrying home are the local honey and the olive oil, both Mallorcan staples and both easier to buy here from a stall than in a supermarket aisle.

If you are self-catering nearby, this is a one-morning-a-week shop: come Wednesday or wait seven days.

How to get to Capdepera Market

The address is Plaça de l'Orient, 1, 07580 Capdepera. The square sits in the old centre of the town, below the castle, so from anywhere in Capdepera itself it is a short walk uphill or across. Access into the building is step-free.

Where to stay in Capdepera

Staying in the Capdepera town centre puts you within walking distance of Plaça de l'Orient, which matters when the market opens at 7am and shuts at 1pm. If you would rather be on the coast, Cala Rajada is a couple of kilometres away and has a wider choice of hotels and apartments, with the beach on the doorstep and the market a short drive inland.
