The weekly market in Esporles is a charming Saturday morning market in a traditional Tramuntana mountain village, much loved by locals and seen as an insider tip for visitors who want an authentic, non‑touristy experience. It combines high‑quality local produce, crafts and textiles with a relaxed, green setting along the village’s main promenade.

Market day, opening hours and character

Esporles holds its weekly market every Saturday in the morning, all year round. Official information gives opening hours of 09:00–13:00, while other local sources specify a very similar window of 08:00–13:30, with the busiest time in late morning.

The market is small to medium in size, but offers a surprisingly wide variety of stands and has a reputation as an insider favourite among nearby towns. It caters to both residents and visitors, with a distinctly local, neighbourly feel and an international touch thanks to Esporles’ popularity with foreign residents and hikers.

Location: where the market is in Esporles

The weekly market in Esporles is held along the Passeig del Rei and on Plaça del Jardinet, the central promenade and square in the middle of the village. These spaces form the social heart of Esporles, lined with bars and restaurants whose terraces look directly onto the stalls.

Esporles lies about 12 km from Palma, in a valley on the southern slopes of the Serra de Tramuntana, and is reached via the Ma‑1040 road from Palma. The combination of trees, open spaces and stone houses makes walking around the market particularly pleasant, especially in summer when the village’s vegetation and elevation keep temperatures a little cooler than on the plain.

What to expect: products and atmosphere

Esporles market offers a well‑balanced mix of food, artisan goods and everyday items. Typical stalls include:

Fruit and vegetables, often supplied by farmers from the surrounding area, reflecting the village’s historic agricultural roots.
Mallorcan artisan products such as cured meats, preserves, honey and other local specialities.
Plants and flowers, including seedlings and garden plants that are popular with local residents.
Textile articles and footwear, from clothing and accessories to shoes, serving daily needs as well as visitors’ holiday shopping.

Many of the products sold at the market are explicitly noted as coming from farmers and artisans in the area, reinforcing the sense of quality and local provenance rather than generic tourist merchandise. The atmosphere is relaxed and social: the market is described as not only a supply point for quality products, but also as a meeting place for people from Esporles and neighbouring villages.

How to get to Esporles weekly market

From Palma, Esporles is reached by driving along the Ma‑1040 directly to the town, a journey of roughly 15–20 minutes depending on traffic. Once there, it is generally easy to park near the centre: local descriptions emphasise that parking close to the Passeig del Rei is usually straightforward, especially if you arrive earlier in the morning.

The village’s compact layout means that from most parking spots it is only a short walk to the Passeig del Rei / Plaça del Jardinet area where the stalls are set up. Public transport options from Palma also exist, and for travellers exploring the Tramuntana by car, Esporles often fits naturally into a route that also includes nearby villages or viewpoints.

Why visit Esporles market in Mallorca
