Unstoppable shopping frenzy persists throughout the year in Mallorca
Mallorca, the beautiful Balearic island, is set to enhance its unique market scene with a new initiative that aims to promote tourism throughout the year. Starting September 2021, Calvia, a southwestern municipality on Mallorca, will host daily markets in seven locations.
The bustling market scene in Spain, particularly during the early 20th century, is set to find a new home in Calvia. Three new markets are being added in Calvia: one in Magalluf, another in El Toro, and the third one in Palmanova.
Each day of the week will witness a different market in operation. On Mondays, the Calvia Village market will come alive with local produce, cuisine, and leisure. The Santa Ponsa market will operate on Saturdays, offering a vibrant and colourful atmosphere for visitors and residents alike.
The Magalluf market, set to open on September 5th, will be a must-visit destination for those seeking authentic Mallorcan experiences. The Palmanova-Son Caliu market will operate on Sundays, providing a perfect weekend outing for tourists and locals alike. Paguera market will operate on Tuesdays, offering a mid-week escape for those seeking a taste of Mallorca.
The El Toro market in Calvia will operate on Wednesdays, adding another exciting day to the weekly market schedule. The specific location and schedule for the new markets are yet to be announced, but it is clear that Calvia is gearing up for a market renaissance.
Spain's iconic markets such as El Rastro and San Miguel in Madrid, Alicante's Central Market, Valencia's Mercado Central, and the Costa del Sol's Atarazanas Market are renowned for their local produce, cuisine, and leisure activities. Calvia aims to join this elite list and attract millions of tourists annually with its colourful and aromatic mercados.
However, for the most accurate and detailed schedules, it is recommended to consult official Calvià municipal resources, local tourism offices, or Spanish-language media. The Majorca Daily Bulletin, which covers local news and events, does mention various commercial and gastronomic establishments but not traditional daily or weekly public markets.
The mobile market settings in Calvia are designed to benefit both residents and visitors, ensuring a memorable and authentic experience for all. So, mark your calendars and get ready to immerse yourself in the vibrant market scene of Calvia, Mallorca!
The new markets in Calvia, aiming to contribute to the island's tourism, will feature a mix of lifestyle, home-and-garden, travel, and shopping opportunities. On Tuesdays in Paguera, street vendors will showcase Mallorcan products, while Saturdays in Santa Ponsa will offer home-and-garden goods, travel information, and shopping experiences.
