Timetable
There are several summer markets on the island. Here they are:
La Savina. The market of La Savina settles on the port during the high tourist season. You can find everything there! Not bad for a stroll before taking the ferry (from July to early September).
Sant Francesc Xavier. The market of Sant Francesc invades the pedestrian streets of the village centre (from May to October, every day from 10am to 2pm). There is also a second-hand market in the "Jardí de Ses Eres", behind the church of Sant Francesc, on Tuesdays and Saturdays all year round.
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 (from May to October, every day except Wednesday and Sunday, from 8.30 pm to midnight). There is also a craft market three days a week in Sant Ferran (May to October, every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, from 8.30 pm to midnight).
Es Pujols. The hippy market in Es Pujols takes place on the promenade every evening during the summer (May to September, every day from 8pm to midnight).
La Mola. The craft market of La Mola is the only market on the island where the exhibitors are all real craftsmen/artists. It is the most important and busiest market on Formentera. Concerts enliven the central square paved with multicoloured mosaics (from May to October, on Wednesdays and Sundays, from 4 to 10 pm). There is free parking on site for the many summer visitors!
Budget & Tips
For the best shopping tips on the island, visit the market stalls. You'll find all sorts of original products, most of them unique, that you can't find anywhere else!
Sales
In Formentera, as in the rest of Spain, the sales last for two months: the winter sales take place from the beginning of January to the beginning of March, the summer sales from the beginning of July to the beginning of 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
