Weekly Market Colònia de Sant Jordi Mallorca

The weekly market in Colònia de Sant Jordi is a seasonal evening market in this small seaside town on Mallorca’s south coast, combining a relaxed holiday atmosphere with local products and beach‑style shopping along a central avenue close to the sea. It is especially popular with visitors who want to round off a day at nearby beaches like Es Trenc with a stroll through colourful stalls and café terraces in the late afternoon and evening.

​

Market day, season and opening hours

Colònia de Sant Jordi’s main weekly market takes place on Tuesdays from May to October, operating as a late‑afternoon and evening market rather than a classic morning market. Current information aligns on a core time window of approximately 15:30–22:30, giving plenty of time to visit after a beach day or a coastal walk.

​Several guides and schedules emphasise that Colònia de Sant Jordi is one of the few markets on Mallorca that is deliberately held in the evening, standing out from the usual 9:00–13:00 pattern across the island. In peak summer (July and August), there is also a separate Saturday night market in another part of town, typically around 19:00–23:00, adding extra festive flair on weekends.

​

Location: where the market is held

The main weekly market is set along Avinguda / Avenida Primavera, one of the central commercial avenues in Colònia de Sant Jordi. This broad street becomes pedestrian‑oriented during market hours, filling with stalls and flanked by bars, restaurants and some nightlife venues that give the whole area a very summery feel.

Because Avenida Primavera is so central, the market is easy to reach on foot from most hotels, apartments and the seafront promenade. Terraces along the avenue allow you to sit with a drink or meal while overlooking the stalls, which many visitors highlight as one of the nicest aspects of this particular market.

The additional Saturday night market in high season is usually held around carrer del batle Andreu Burguera Mut and Plaça de Sant Bartomeu, another central zone within walking distance of the main beach and harbour area.

​

What to expect: products and atmosphere

Colònia de Sant Jordi’s weekly market is described as mainly a tourist‑oriented market, but locals also come to browse and shop, especially in summer. The product range typically includes:

• Textiles and fashion: summer clothing, dresses, T‑shirts, kids’ clothes, beachwear and light holiday outfits.
• Fashion accessories and gifts: bags, belts, jewellery, scarves, hats, sunglasses and other small accessories.
• Souvenirs and decorative items: decorative crafts, seaside‑themed pieces, ceramics and small home accessories suitable as gifts.
• A smaller selection of fruit and vegetables, Mallorcan artisan products such as cheeses, sausages, olive oil, jams and sweets, and sometimes plants and flowers.

Compared with big inland markets, the food section is smaller, while the share of textiles, accessories and souvenirs is larger, reflecting the seaside resort character of Colònia de Sant Jordi. The overall atmosphere is relaxed, summery and social, with people drifting in from the beach, families with children, couples on evening walks and groups of friends combining shopping with tapas or ice cream on the terraces.

How to get to Colònia de Sant Jordi weekly market

If you are staying in Colònia de Sant Jordi, the weekly market is usually just a short walk away: head towards Avenida Primavera, which is one of the main commercial streets in town. Signage and the visible concentration of stalls make it easy to find once you are nearby.

​Visitors coming from elsewhere in the south of Mallorca, such as Campos, Ses Salines or Sa Ràpita, typically drive towards Colònia de Sant Jordi following local roads indicated from Campos or the Ma‑19 / Ma‑6014 region. Because the market takes place in the late afternoon and evening during the busy season, parking close to Avenida Primavera can be tight; many guides recommend arriving early, using available parking slightly away from the central streets and walking a few minutes into the market zone.

​Regional market overviews list Colònia de Sant Jordi as a Wednesday or Tuesday afternoon/evening market, depending on the source, but detailed local information converges on Tuesday evenings May–October, so checking up‑to‑date local signs or accommodation info is sensible if you are visiting at the start or end of the season.

Why visit Colònia de Sant Jordi market in Mallorca

This weekly market is perfectly timed for beach holidays: instead of getting up early, you can spend the day at nearby beaches such as Es Trenc, Es Carbó or Es Dolç and then wander into town in the late afternoon for shopping and an easy dinner. The evening schedule makes it more comfortable temperature‑wise in summer and adds a pleasant twilight mood as the light changes and the avenue lights up.

​For many visitors, Colònia de Sant Jordi’s market offers a light, enjoyable introduction to Mallorcan markets without the intensity or size of big inland ones. You still find some local products and crafts, but within a clearly holiday‑oriented environment, ideal if you are travelling with children or prefer a shorter, more relaxed market visit.

​Finally, the market is an easy starting point for exploring the town’s surroundings: before or after shopping, you can stroll along the harbour, visit the Cabrera National Park interpretation centre or simply enjoy sunset along the seafront while carrying your new finds from the stalls.
