Weekly Market Andratx Mallorca

The weekly market in Andratx is a classic Wednesday market in southwest Mallorca, held in the centre of the town of Andratx and known for its lively, traditional atmosphere, wide range of products and proximity to the coastal resorts around Port d’Andratx. It is a great choice if you want to combine a genuine Mallorcan village market with an easy day trip from the southwest coast.

​

What to expect at Andratx weekly market

The Andratx weekly market (often referred to as the Andratx Wednesday market) stretches along the main streets in the town centre, especially around Passeig de Son Mas and the area close to the town hall and church. Stalls line both sides of the streets, creating a long ribbon of market activity that you can wander through at your own pace.

​You will find a broad mix of goods: seasonal fruit and vegetables from local farms, herbs, cheeses, cured meats, olives, nuts, baked goods and typical Mallorcan specialities share space with clothing, shoes, bags, household textiles, beach items and children’s clothes. In between, there are stalls with artisan ceramics, jewellery, leather belts and bags, decorative items, plants and flowers, making Andratx market feel like both a farmers’ market and a general street market.

​The atmosphere is lively but still distinctly local, with many residents doing their weekly shopping and a steady flow of visitors from the surrounding holiday areas. Cafés and bars along the market route fill up with people taking a break for coffee, a soft drink or a cold beer, which adds to the typical “market day” buzz.

​

Opening hours and market day

Andratx weekly market takes place every Wednesday and is the main market day for the town. It runs all year round, although the number of visitors and sometimes the number of stalls naturally increases during the main holiday season.

​The market is held in the morning and around midday. As a practical rule, most stalls are operating from around 8:00–9:00 until about 13:00–13:30, with a few possibly staying a bit longer. The busiest time is late morning, but many vendors start packing up after about 13:00, so it is wise to arrive earlier if you want the full choice and a more relaxed experience.

Location: where the market is in Andratx

The market takes place in the town of Andratx, which lies inland from Port d’Andratx in the southwest corner of Mallorca, framed by hills and rural scenery. Stalls are set up in the central streets, especially along Passeig de Son Mas and in the area near the town hall and church, so you are right in the middle of everyday village life while you browse.

​Because the market is embedded in the town centre, you pass local shops, bakeries and cafés as you move between the stalls, which makes the visit feel more authentic than in some purely tourist markets. The surrounding landscape of low mountains and countryside forms a pleasant backdrop and is part of what makes Andratx Wednesday market so attractive for visitors staying in the southwest.

How to get to Andratx weekly market

From Palma, you can reach Andratx by car in roughly 25–30 minutes by following the Ma‑1 towards Andratx. Once you arrive in the town, follow the signs into the centre and look for parking in the streets and designated parking areas on the edge of the centre, as the main market streets are busy and may be restricted on market mornings.

​If you are staying in Port d’Andratx or nearby coastal resorts, Andratx weekly market is just a short drive or taxi ride inland. There are also regular bus connections between Palma, the southwest resorts and Andratx, and from the bus stop in town it is only a short walk to the central streets where the stalls are set up.

Why visit Andratx market in Mallorca

Andratx weekly market is one of the best options in the southwest of Mallorca if you want a genuine village market that still has plenty of choice for holiday shopping. It offers enough size and variety to keep you busy for a couple of hours, without feeling as overwhelming as the very largest markets on the island.

​Because many locals shop here, it is a good place to buy real everyday products – from fruit and vegetables to household items – alongside more typical holiday purchases such as clothes, bags and souvenirs. At the same time, the market is well used to international visitors, so you will usually find it easy to communicate in English or with a mix of English and basic Spanish.

​Families appreciate the mix of colours, sounds and smells, as well as the cafés where you can break up the visit with snacks or drinks. Couples and individual travellers often combine the market with a leisurely walk through the town and into the surrounding countryside or on to the nearby port.

Tips for visiting Andratx weekly market

For a more comfortable visit and easier parking, try to arrive earlier in the morning, especially in high season. Temperatures are lower, the streets are less crowded, and you have better chances of finding space close to the centre.

​Bring some cash, since not all vendors accept card payments, particularly the smaller food and plant stalls. A reusable shopping bag or backpack is practical for your purchases, and in summer you will be happier with sun protection and a bottle of water, as much of the market is outdoors with limited shade.

​Comfortable footwear is also helpful, because you may end up walking quite a bit back and forth along the market streets and then exploring Andratx beyond the stalls. If you like to take photos, the combination of stalls, village architecture and surrounding hills provides plenty of interesting scenes to capture.

​

Combine Andratx market with other things to do

A classic combination is to visit Andratx weekly market on Wednesday morning and then drive down to Port d’Andratx for lunch by the harbour and a relaxed afternoon by the sea. The short distance between the town and the port makes it very easy to turn market day into a full outing with both village life and coastal atmosphere.

​You can also use Andratx as a starting point to explore some of the scenic roads and viewpoints in the southwest, including drives towards Sant Elm or into the lower slopes of the Tramuntana mountains. This way, the Andratx weekly market becomes the central anchor of a varied day in southwest Mallorca, combining shopping, local culture, landscape and the nearby coastline.
