Weekly Market Sant Joan Mallorca
Opening Hours
Open all year
- Thursday9:00 - 13:00
The weekly market in Sant Joan is a small, very local Thursday morning market held in the central square of this inland village in central Mallorca, mainly serving residents but welcoming visitors who enjoy a traditional atmosphere. It is a good choice if you are staying in the island’s interior and want to see a non‑touristy village market that fits easily into a half‑day trip.
​
Market day, times and size
The Sant Joan weekly market takes place every Thursday morning. Current descriptions state that it typically runs from around 09:00 to 13:00, so it is best visited in the earlier part of the day.
​It is described as a small local market, with a modest number of stalls aimed mainly at residents rather than at large tourist groups. This makes it quieter and more traditional than the big markets in towns like Inca or Sineu, with a focus on everyday shopping rather than souvenirs.
​
Location in Sant Joan
The weekly market in Sant Joan is held in Plaça de la Constitució, the main square in the centre of the village. The square lies between Carrer Economo Mas and Carrer Molins, right in front of the Parish Church of Sant Joan Baptista, so the church is a good landmark when you are looking for the market.
​Because it is in the heart of the village, you are surrounded by local bars and small shops, which makes it easy to combine a stroll around the stalls with a coffee or snack on a terrace. The compact village layout means everything is within a short walking distance once you are parked near the centre.

What you can buy at Sant Joan market
While detailed lists change with the seasons, Sant Joan’s Thursday market follows the pattern of many small inland markets in Mallorca and focuses on fresh produce and basic goods. Typical categories you can expect include:
- ​Fresh fruit and vegetables from local farmers in the surrounding countryside.
- ​Food products and Mallorcan staples, such as cheese, cured meats, olives, bread and other everyday groceries, depending on the stalls present.
- ​Plants and flowers, commonly seen at village markets and popular with local gardeners.
- ​Some stalls with textiles, clothing or household items, reflecting the practical, day‑to‑day focus of the market.
​The overall feel is that of a traditional village shopping morning, with locals greeting each other and using the market as much for socialising as for stocking up on food.
​
How to visit and combine with other activities
Sant Joan is located in central Mallorca, surrounded by agricultural land and other small villages, so the market fits well into a rural driving route through the island interior. A typical visit would be: arrive on Thursday morning, park near the centre, explore the market in Plaça de la Constitució, step into or around the parish church, and then continue by car to nearby inland towns or viewpoints.
​Because the market is small, most visitors can see all stalls in less than an hour, leaving plenty of time for a relaxed coffee in the square or for extending the trip to larger markets on other days of the week, such as Inca or Sineu, if you want to compare different market styles on Mallorca.
