Markets
Every Friday, Saturday & Sunday
But our guide to what's on in March would not be complete without mentioning four of Ibiza's fabled markets, which take place at the weekend throughout the winter. First off, there's Las Dalias Hippy Market, situated just outside the charming village of San Carlos. Ideal for shopping, people watching, cuisine - both local and international - and live music, it's open on Saturday and Sunday. Those looking for locally made and grown produce, meanwhile, should check out the farmer's market in San Antonio (Friday mornings) and the Forada market in Buscastell, a minute hamlet inland from the town of San Antonio (Saturday mornings). Lastly, jumble in all forms, designer garments, and even live music await every Saturday morning at the flea market in San Jordi (between Ibiza Town and the airport). Happy rummaging!
