Timetable
Several summer markets dot the island. Here they are
La Savina. During the high tourist season, the La Savina market takes place on the harbor. You'll find everything here! A great place to stroll before catching your ferry (July to early September).
Sant Francesc Xavier. The Sant Francesc market takes over the pedestrian streets of the village center (May to October, daily, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.).
Sant Ferran. On the promenade of carrer Major, the Sant Ferran art market brings together artists from all over the world to exhibit their works of art inspired by the essence of the island (May to October, daily except Wednesday and Sunday, 8.30 pm to midnight). Sant Ferran also hosts a craft market three days a week (May to October, every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 8.30 pm to midnight).
Es Pujols. The Es Pujols hippie market takes place on the promenade every evening in summer (May to September, daily, 8pm to midnight).
La Mola. The La Mola craft market is the only market on the island where the exhibitors are all real craftsmen/artists. It's Formentera's biggest and busiest market. Concerts enliven the central square paved with multicolored mosaics (May to October, Wednesdays and Sundays, 4pm to 10pm). Free parking is available on site for the many summer visitors!
Budget & Tips
For the best shopping on the island, visit the market stalls. You'll find all kinds of original products, most of them unique, that you won't find anywhere else!
Sales
In Formentera, as in the rest of Spain, sales last twice as long: winter sales take place from early January to early March, summer sales from early July to early September. However, these sales do not apply to the market. However, the end of the season, late September/early October, is a good time to take advantage of low prices.
