Once a year, usually in May, Ibiza’s old town transforms completely. The cobbled streets of Dalt Vila fill with market stalls, banners, medieval music and characters that seem to come from another century.

The Ibiza Medieval Market is more than a market it’s a fully immersive experience. Artisans, blacksmiths, traditional food stalls, street performances and live music turn the historic centre into a vibrant open-air stage for several days.

It’s one of the most anticipated events of the year for both locals and visitors. Ideal for families, for aimless wandering and for discovering a different side of Ibiza, deeply connected to its history and culture.

Talking about markets in Ibiza without mentioning Las Dalias would be impossible. Located in the north of the island, this is one of the most iconic and well-known markets, yet it still retains a very special atmosphere.

Las Dalias is mainly held on Saturdays throughout the year, with popular night markets during the summer season. Here you’ll find local crafts, clothing, jewellery, art, live music and an atmosphere that blends bohemian spirit with creativity.

Las Dalias is not just a place to shop; it’s a meeting point. People come to stroll, listen to music, have a drink and soak up one of the most characteristic energies of Ibiza.

The Es Canar Market, also known as Punta Arabí, is one of the largest and most traditional markets on the island. It usually takes place on Wednesdays, especially during the high season.

Located close to the sea, this market offers a wide variety of stalls: handicrafts, clothing, souvenirs, accessories and food stands. It’s perfect for spending the morning, walking without rush and enjoying the lively atmosphere that forms every week.

It’s very popular with families and visitors, but it’s also a regular plan for many residents looking for a different kind of seaside stroll.

If you’re looking for a market with an alternative spirit and a strong connection to nature, San Juan is the place to go. This market is held on Sunday mornings in a small village in the north of the island.

It stands out for its conscious approach: organic products, local crafts, healthy food and live music that accompanies your walk. The atmosphere is relaxed, family-friendly and genuinely authentic.

It’s one of the favourite markets among residents and among those seeking a calmer Ibiza, far from the crowds and closer to what truly matters.

The San Jordi Market is probably the most local of all. It usually takes place on Saturday mornings near the former hippodrome and is widely frequented by island residents.

The atmosphere here is more practical and less tourist oriented. You’ll find everything from second-hand clothes and everyday objects to curious finds and unique pieces. It’s a market with character, where real daily life unfolds and no two visits are the same.

If you want to see how Ibiza moves beyond the usual tourist circuits, San Jordi is a must-stop.

Ibiza’s markets are not just places to shop. They are spaces where:

• Local culture and creativity come together
• Unique handmade products are discovered
• You enjoy the atmosphere without schedules or pressure
• You connect with the island’s most authentic essence

Each market has its own rhythm, crowd and energy. Visiting them is one of the most genuine ways to experience Ibiza.
