Markets in La Unión
Murcia, Region of Murcia
Markets in La Unión centre on a single weekly street market that takes over the town each Tuesday morning. This former mining town, set between the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean, is best known for its Flamenco festival and mining heritage, but its mercadillo is a regular fixture for locals and visitors staying along the coast.
Around 25 stalls line Calle Murcia every Tuesday, selling clothing, footwear, leather goods, jewellery, handicrafts and books. If you're exploring the Murcia region's markets, La Unión's mercadillo is worth combining with a visit to the town's striking Mining Park.
The market runs from 7am to around 1:15pm, so plan to arrive in the morning for the best selection. For more markets in the area, check our markets near me page to find what's on nearby.
