Weekly Market Muro Mallorca

The weekly market in Muro is a small but very authentic Sunday market in the historic centre of this inland town in the north of Mallorca, aimed mainly at residents but increasingly visited by guests from nearby resorts such as Can Picafort and Playa de Muro. It is a great choice if you want a calm, genuinely local market experience close to (but not inside) the busy Bay of Alcúdia.

​

Market day, hours and size

Muro’s weekly market (Mercat Setmanal de Muro) takes place every Sunday morning. Current descriptions align on:

• ​Day: Sunday
• Time: 09:00–13:00 (roughly 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.)

​It is explicitly described as not a large market – fewer stalls than Alcúdia, Pollença or Sineu – but with a solid core of local vendors and a friendly, village‑like atmosphere. In summer, visitor numbers increase thanks to the proximity of tourist areas, yet the market still retains its local character.

​Location: where the market is in Muro

The weekly market is held in the Comte d’Empúries square (Plaça Comte d’Empúries), right in the centre of Muro, next to the town hall and the church of Sant Joan Baptista.

​The square is surrounded by traditional buildings and is only a short walk from other central spots such as Plaça de la Constitució and Plaça dels Abeuradors, where you find more small shops, cafés and restaurants. This compact layout means you can easily combine the market with a short stroll around the old town.

​Muro itself lies about 6 km inland from the northeast coast and the resorts of Playa de Muro and Can Picafort, in a slightly elevated position overlooking the surrounding plain.

​

What to expect: products and atmosphere

Even though it is smaller than some of Mallorca’s headline markets, Muro’s weekly market offers a classic local mix:

• Fruit and vegetables: farm produce from the surrounding countryside, sold by local peasants and growers.
• ​Textile items and footwear: everyday clothing, shoes and household textiles for local residents.
• ​Plants and flowers: ornamental and garden plants that add colour to Comte d’Empúries square.
• ​Gifts and small crafts: a limited number of stalls with simple gift items, artisan pieces and decorative objects.

​Descriptions emphasise that the market “maintains the same character of yesteryear”, with peasants selling their produce and a focus on everyday life rather than tourist show. In summer, due to Muro’s proximity to coastal resorts, the atmosphere becomes more international, but the core clientele remains local.

How to get to Muro weekly market

Muro is in the north‑east inland region, between Sa Pobla and Can Picafort:

• By car from Sa Pobla: take the Ma‑3430 road towards Muro.
• ​By car from Can Picafort / Playa de Muro: follow the Ma‑3431 inland to Muro.

​Guides highlight that parking is easy nearby, with spaces around the centre and in streets close to Comte d’Empúries square; from there, you walk just a few minutes into the heart of the market.

​For holidaymakers staying in Playa de Muro or Can Picafort, Muro’s Sunday market is particularly convenient: it is close enough for a short outing, but rural enough to feel completely different from the beach strip.

Why visit Muro market in Mallorca

The weekly market in Muro is ideal if you:

• Prefer a small, genuinely local market over large, crowded tourist markets.
• ​Are based in the Bay of Alcúdia area and want a quick inland excursion without a long drive.
• ​Enjoy seeing real village shopping routines, with local farmers and residents as the main actors.

​A typical Sunday plan might be: short drive from Playa de Muro or Can Picafort up to Muro, a relaxed hour or two at the market and in the surrounding squares, a coffee in a local bar – and then back to the coast for the afternoon. This blend of authentic inland life and beach convenience makes Muro an excellent addition to a complete Mallorca market guide.
