Markets in La Manga
Murcia, Region of Murcia · 3 markets tracked
La Manga del Mar Menor has three outdoor street markets and no covered municipal market, so everything here trades in the open air along the strip. The largest sets up on Saturday with around 50 stalls, and trading across the town runs late, usually from 5pm to 10pm, which suits a place where the middle of the day belongs to the beach.

Where to stay in La Manga
La Manga is a long, narrow strip of land, so staying somewhere central along it makes the markets easy to reach on foot or by bike. La Manga del Mar Menor is your best bet, putting you close to the local markets and the beach without needing a car for every trip.
If you prefer a bit more comfort, Hotel Entremares is a solid choice with good access to the area. For something more self-catered and flexible, look for apartments along Gran Vía de La Manga, where you can stock up at the markets and cook your own fresh produce.

Market days in La Manga
Something trades in La Manga every day of the week. Saturday and Sunday each carry two of the three markets and the other five days carry one, so no day on the strip is a blank. Friday is the quietest. Because the usual window is 5pm to 10pm, plan an evening visit rather than a morning one.
Street markets in La Manga
All three markets divide fairly neatly by what they sell. One is a general weekly market of about 50 stalls, the practical option if you want fresh fruit and vegetables alongside clothing, footwear and jewellery. The other two lean artisan, with handicrafts and jewellery, cheese and dairy, bread and pastries, and prepared food.
Plaza Bohemia is the address most people are searching for. The seasonal night market there sets up on summer evenings and is known locally as the hippy market, an open-air spread of handicrafts, clothing and jewellery. The Murcia regional tourism office carries seasonal event dates for the strip. Addresses and stall counts for each one are listed on the street markets in La Manga page, and Murcia province covers the rest of the coast, including Cabo de Palos and Cartagena.
What day is the market in La Manga?
La Manga's biggest market runs on a Saturday, with around 50 stalls selling clothing, footwear, jewellery and fresh produce. Saturday and Sunday each carry two of the strip's three street markets and the remaining five days carry one apiece, so there is a market trading somewhere in La Manga every day of the week.
Are there markets in La Manga on a Sunday?
Yes, two of La Manga's three street markets trade on a Sunday, the same number as on a Saturday and the busiest the week gets here. The usual trading window across the town runs from 5pm to 10pm, so a Sunday visit works better in the evening than first thing in the morning.
What is the Plaza Bohemia market in La Manga?
Plaza Bohemia is the site of La Manga's seasonal night market, a summer open-air market selling handicrafts, jewellery and clothing. It trades in the evening rather than the morning, on the strip's usual pattern of 5pm to 10pm, and it is one of the best-known markets on the Mar Menor coast.
What can you buy at La Manga's markets?
Across La Manga's three street markets you'll find clothing, footwear, jewellery, handicrafts, fresh fruit and vegetables, bread and pastries, cheese and dairy, and prepared food. The 50-stall Saturday market is the one to use for a proper produce shop, while the artisan and night markets lean towards handmade goods.
