Cala Ratjada Second-Hand Market

Cala Ratjada Second-Hand Market sets up every Sunday at Plaza Cap Vermell, on Avenida de Floreal, and runs from 9am to 2pm before the square is cleared again. Known in Spanish as the Mercadillo de Segunda Mano de Cala Ratjada, it is a resale market rather than a produce one: the stalls sell clothing, textiles, books and magazines, all in the open air. It is one of the street markets in Es Pelats, and you can see every market in the town on the Es Pelats markets page.

What you'll find at Cala Ratjada Second-Hand Market

Two categories account for the market: clothing and textiles, and second-hand books and magazines. That makes it a browsing market rather than a shopping list one, worth an hour if you are after used clothes or holiday reading and not the place to come for food. Everything stands outdoors on the square, so a wet Sunday thins the stalls.
