La Manga Artisan Market

La Manga Artisan Market (Mercado Artesanal de La Manga) sets up every Sunday from 10am to 12pm at Galería El Flamenco, km 3.5, in La Manga, Murcia. Handcrafted jewellery, leather goods, artisan bread, local cheese and prepared foods share the floor for those two hours, and then it packs away. It is listed with the other street markets in La Manga.

What you'll find at La Manga Artisan Market

Six trades between them cover the whole market: handicrafts, jewellery, footwear and leather, cheese and dairy, bread and bakery, and prepared foods. The jewellery and leather stalls are the artisan end of it, the cheese and bread stalls the reason locals come, and the prepared-food stalls are worth the stop if you are heading down to the beach afterwards.

How to get to La Manga Artisan Market

The market is at Galería El Flamenco, km 3.5, La Manga del Mar Menor. Addresses along the strip are given by kilometre marker rather than street name, so km 3.5 is what to search for. The gallery is a covered venue, so rain on a Sunday morning is not a reason to stay away. Dates and any changes are posted on the official page, and other markets in the area are listed on the province page.

Where to stay in La Manga

La Manga's strip is long and narrow, so staying close to the market end saves you a lot of walking. Gran Via de La Manga puts you right in the heart of things, with the beach and the market both within easy reach.

If you prefer a proper hotel base, Hotel Entremares is a solid choice on the strip, and Hoteles Senator Mar Menor Golf & Spa sits just off the strip near the Mar Menor side if you want something a little quieter.

What day is La Manga Artisan Market?

La Manga Artisan Market runs every Sunday, from 10am to 12pm, with no seasonal break in the year. Those two hours are the market's entire trading week, so a Sunday morning is the only chance to catch it, at Galería El Flamenco, km 3.5 on the La Manga del Mar Menor strip.

Where is La Manga Artisan Market?

La Manga Artisan Market sets up at Galería El Flamenco, km 3.5, La Manga del Mar Menor, in the province of Murcia. Addresses along the strip are given by kilometre marker rather than by street name, so km 3.5 is the reference to put into a map app rather than the gallery name alone.

Does La Manga Artisan Market take cards?

La Manga Artisan Market has no card payment recorded at its stalls, so carry cash. Acceptance at a small artisan market varies from one trader to the next, and with jewellery, leather, cheese and bread all sold by separate makers, coins and small notes are what get you through the two hours.
