The Colònia de Sant Jordi street market
Colònia’s street market is set up on Tuesday afternoons (around 4-9 pm), from May to October, on Avinguda Primavera. It’s mainly a tourist market — crafts, textiles, jewellery, gifts and the odd produce stall — perfect for a cool stroll before dinner. It doesn’t run in the low season.

The Ses Salines market
5 km away, the town of Ses Salines holds its market on Thursday mornings (around 9 am-1 pm) in the Plaça Major, and it runs all year. It’s more of a village produce market: fruit and veg, some textiles, leather, footwear and crafts. A good morning plan to shop fresh and soak up the local feel.
The big markets nearby
For a market with a capital M, a short drive gives you two gems. Santanyí (Wednesday and Saturday mornings, ~15 km) is one of the prettiest in Mallorca, in a golden-stone old town, with produce, flowers, crafts and clothes. And Campos (Thursday and Saturday, ~10 km) is a very authentic farmers’ market. Go in the morning, when they’re in full swing.
What to buy: local produce
To take a piece of Mallorca home: Flor de Sal d’Es Trenc (light and always a hit; see the salt flats visit), sobrassada and cheeses, oil and olives, almonds and pastries like the ensaïmada, and ceramic, leather or palm crafts. Gifts that weigh little and taste of here.

Tips
Bring cash (many stalls have no card reader), go early to the produce markets (Ses Salines, Santanyí, Campos) and leave Colònia for the evening. Park on the edge and walk in. And pair it with the beach or a good time of year: see the best time to visit.
