A taste of Mallorca: local food markets you need to visit in 2025, Ca's Saboners Beach Aparthotel

One of the best ways to get to know a place is through its markets. Always buzzing with local people and produce, a market, especially a food market, is always a sign of culture, community and cuisine.
Mallorca’s generations-old food markets showcase the island's culinary roots, where you’ll find fresh seasonal produce—and people coming together. Here are some of our top food markets to discover new and old flavours.


Andratx market - Tradition meets taste in the southwest

Every Wednesday, this bustling food market takes place in the historic town centre and along the pretty connecting streets. Local farmers and artisans gather to show off their colourful wares, from seasonal fruits and vegetables. During spring, expect asparagus, ruby-red strawberries and glossy cherries. In summer, plump tomatoes, plums, watermelons and grapes. You’ll also find artisanal gastronomic offerings like local cheeses, olives oils and olives, an abundance of wines from local bodegas and “sobrassada”, a traditional cured pork sausage seasoned with spicy paprika.


Santa Maria del Camí market - A sensory feast in central Mallorca

Held every Sunday from 9 am to 2 pm in Plaça Nova, a large square where rows of stalls sell everything from textiles to jewellery and, of course, produce from the fields. You’ll discover sun-ripened organic fruit and vegetables, the usual artisanal products like gourmet cheese and meats for an authentic taste of island life and local delicacies like “ensaïmada”, a swirling spiral-shaped pastry filled with something sweet like cream, chocolate or pumpkin jam. This market can be particularly busy so we recommend getting the train from Palma.
