La Mola craft market
The craft market of El Pilar de la Mola, founded in 1984, is the one people call the hippy market. It fills the village square high on the eastern plateau every Wednesday and Sunday from 16:00 to 22:00, from early May to mid October, with live music and bars around it, and everything on sale is handmade on Formentera. Combine it with the Far de la Mola lighthouse at the end of the road. Bus line L2 is the only line to the village; see the bus page for the times.
Sant Ferran: the art market and the craft market
Sant Ferran de ses Roques holds two markets on its main street, a craft market and an art market, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 20:00 to midnight; in 2026 from 30 May to 26 September. Live music filled the church square on Friday evenings at 22:00 from 19 June to 2 October. Lines L1, L2, L5 and L7 all stop in Sant Ferran, which makes it the easiest market to reach by bus.
Es Pujols at night
The flea market fills the seafront promenade of Es Pujols on summer evenings and nights with more than 40 stalls. In 2026 it ran every day from 19:00 to midnight, from 1 May to 30 September.
Sant Francesc Xavier: craft stalls, the flea market and the farmers
- Craft stalls fill the streets of the capital every day from 10:00 to 14:00 from May to October, and in July and August also on Monday and Tuesday evenings from 20:00 to midnight.
- The second-hand market, with second-hand clothes and books, is on Tuesday and Saturday from 11:00 to 14:00 in the Jardí de ses Eres behind the church; in 2026 from 22 May to 19 December.
- The Mercat Pagès at the Centre Antoni Tur "Gabrielet" is where island farmers sell fruit, vegetables, honey, wine and fish directly: in summer from Monday to Saturday, 9:00 to 13:30, and in winter on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 9:00 to 14:00.
La Savina by the port
A market opens every day from 10:00 to 01:00 on the seafront promenade by the port, handy before an evening ferry. In 2026 it ran from 18 May to 30 September.
Planning around the markets
- Wednesday or Sunday is La Mola day; the three day guide builds its third day around it.
- Thursday to Saturday evenings suit Sant Ferran; Es Pujols and La Savina are open every evening in season.
- Off season the craft and evening markets are closed. The when to visit guide has the months.
