Weekly Market Felanitx Mallorca

The weekly market in Felanitx is one of the most traditional and lively markets in southeast Mallorca, turning the whole town centre into a bustling hub every Sunday morning and drawing both locals and visitors from the surrounding region. With its mix of fresh produce, artisan crafts and a strong local atmosphere around the imposing church of Sant Miquel, it is often considered a must‑see if you are exploring this part of the island.

​

Market day, opening hours and scale

Felanitx holds its main weekly market every Sunday morning, all year round. Consistent sources place the core opening hours between 9:00 and 13:30–14:00, with many explicitly stating 9:00–14:00 or 9:00–13:30 as the usual visitor window. The peak period is late morning, when the streets are at their busiest and the terraces around the squares fill up.

​It is a large market by Mallorcan standards: stalls extend through a big part of the town centre, including Plaça d’Espanya, Plaça Pax, Plaça Rei Jaume II, Plaça de sa Font de Santa Margalida, Major Street, the area around the church of Sant Miquel and adjacent streets. This breadth and the steady flow of visitors from Felanitx and nearby villages have given the market a strong reputation island‑wide.

Location: where the market is in Felanitx

Felanitx is located in southeast Mallorca, about 50 km from Palma and roughly 13 km from Manacor, surrounded by gentle hills, farmland and a network of small roads leading to coastal spots like Portocolom. The weekly market is centrally located within the town, concentrated around the main squares and streets close to the parish church of Sant Miquel.

A covered food market area (Sa Plaça / Sa Placa) near Rei Jaume II square complements the open‑air stalls and sells fresh food and flowers even on non‑market days (usually Tuesday to Sunday, closed Mondays), which means Felanitx is very much a year‑round food hub for the area. As you move through the streets, you pass bars and restaurants with large terraces, independent shops and historic façades, giving the whole market area a very urban‑village feel.

​

What to expect: products and atmosphere

Felanitx weekly market offers a very wide variety of products, including:

• Fresh fruit and vegetables, often from local farmers in the region.
• Typical Mallorcan food products: cheeses, sobrasada and other cured meats, fish, olives, olive oil, honey, wine and baked goods such as bread, ensaimadas, empanadas and pastries.
• Plants and flowers, adding colour and fragrance to the squares and appealing to gardeners and balcony owners alike.
• Textile items and clothing: everyday clothes, children’s wear, towels, home textiles and more.
• Leather goods, ceramics and household items, such as bags, belts, wallets, clay pots and decorative homeware.
• Gift items and souvenirs, plus a notable range of artisan crafts: handmade ceramics, jewellery, traditional textiles and distinctive local souvenirs that reflect Felanitx’s artisan tradition.

​Some sources also highlight live‑animal stalls (chickens, rabbits, birds) and children’s attractions such as bouncy castles, underlining the market’s role as a full family outing, not just a place to shop. The overall atmosphere is lively, authentic and very local, but still welcoming to visitors; the market retains a traditional character and is considered less geared to mass tourism than some coastal markets.

How to get to Felanitx weekly market

By car, Felanitx is easily reached from Palma via the main road towards Llucmajor and Campos and then on to Felanitx, or from Manacor via the local connecting road; travel time from Palma is around an hour depending on traffic. When you reach the town, follow signs towards the centre; on Sundays many of the main streets around the squares are busy or restricted due to the market, so you may need to park slightly outside the core and walk in.

Parking spaces directly near the market area can be limited during peak hours, which is why many guides recommend arriving early, using public parking areas or streets a bit further out and then enjoying the short walk into the centre. Public transport connections link Felanitx with nearby towns and some coastal areas; visitors staying in Portocolom or other villages in the southeast often come up specifically for the Sunday market using local buses or short taxi rides.
