When are local markets like the ones in Sineu and Alcudia open during the week?

Residents on the island usually rely on weekly markets to stock up on fresh produce, artisanal goods, and local delicacies rather than daily shopping. The Sineu market, held every Wednesday, is one of the oldest and most traditional on the island, drawing farmers and craftsmen from across the region. Here, shoppers can find everything from fragrant herbs and freshly baked ensaimadas to vibrant flowers and handmade ceramics. It’s a genuine slice of Mallorcan life, with a relaxed pace and lively chatter among vendors and regulars.

On the other hand, the Alcudia market takes place on Sundays, presenting a larger variety of goods, including clothing, souvenirs, and furniture, alongside the local food stalls offering sobrassada, pa amb oli, and other regional specialties. Both markets start early in the morning and wind down by early afternoon, making for perfect day trips. Whether you’re cycling along the Ma-13 or using the TIB bus network, it’s easy to plan around these days and experience the island’s culture through its market traditions.
