Torrevieja Hippies Craft Market

Torrevieja Hippies Craft Market, the Mercadillo de los Hippies, sets up every day of the week from 10am to 10pm on the Vía Verde at Avenida de la Estación. It moved there in March 2025 from Paseo de la Libertad. Northern European regulars know it as the hippiemarkt or the hippiemarknaden, and its 160 stalls make it a fixture among the markets in Torrevieja.

What you'll find at Torrevieja Hippies Craft Market

The 160 stalls cover handicrafts and handmade jewellery, footwear and leather goods, and clothing and textiles, with prepared food stalls dotted among them. Everything is outdoors, with no roof over the stalls, so the 10am to 10pm span is worth judging against the forecast in high summer or after rain.

How to get to Torrevieja Hippies Craft Market

Head for Avenida de la Estación, 03185 Torrevieja, and the stalls line the Vía Verde from there. Directions sending you to Paseo de la Libertad predate the March 2025 move. The market is listed alongside the other street markets in Torrevieja and the rest of Alicante province.

Where to stay in Torrevieja

Staying close to the seafront puts you in a great spot for the market and the town's salt lakes. Try Paseo Vista Alegre for easy access to the waterfront, or look for options around Centro if you want to be within walking distance of the main squares and shops.

If you prefer something more self-contained, the area around Playa del Cura has plenty of apartments and hotels that work well for a longer stay, with the beach right on your doorstep.

What day is Torrevieja Hippies Craft Market on?

Torrevieja Hippies Craft Market runs seven days a week, Monday to Sunday, with no closing day. Each day it trades from 10am to 10pm, so there is no single market day to plan around and no calendar to check before you walk over to Avenida de la Estación.

What time does Torrevieja Hippies Craft Market open?

Torrevieja Hippies Craft Market opens at 10am and stays open until 10pm, seven days a week. That twelve-hour span makes it an evening market as much as a morning one, which is unusual for a Spanish street market, and the hours do not change from one day of the week to the next.

How many stalls does Torrevieja Hippies Craft Market have?

Torrevieja Hippies Craft Market has 160 stalls, selling handicrafts, jewellery, footwear and leather goods, clothing and textiles, and prepared food. All of them stand outdoors along the Vía Verde at Avenida de la Estación, so allow a decent stretch of walking to get from one end of the market to the other.
