Mercadillo Street Market

The market transforms Calle Murcia into a traditional shopping destination every Tuesday morning, drawing locals and visitors to its diverse array of stalls.

Vendors typically arrive early to set up their displays before the official opening time. The street market atmosphere is typical of Spanish mercadillos, with stallholders calling out their wares and shoppers examining goods carefully.

You'll find clothing, household items, accessories, and various consumer goods spread across the temporary stalls. The market operates for just over six hours, so arriving earlier in the morning ensures the best selection of merchandise.

Cash is the preferred payment method at most stalls, though some vendors may accept cards. The location on Calle Murcia makes it easily accessible to residents of La Unión and surrounding areas.

The market is located on Calle Murcia in the centre of La Unión, making it accessible by local bus services that connect to the town centre.
