Tuesday weekly markets in the Region of Murcia
Street markets all over the Region from Los Belones to Jumilla
The following weekly markets are held in the Region of Murcia on Tuesdays. The listing was updated in May 2019, and should any changes be noted then please use the contact us button in the header to help maintain the accuracy of the information.
In addition, markets may be cancelled or altered due to bad weather and local or regional holidays: if in doubt, check with the local tourist office.
As a general rule the weekly markets are open from 9.00 to 14.00.
Street markets are always very popular events, both for locals and visitors from abroad, offering an opportunity to buy fresh products and bargain clothes, along with plants and flowers, frying pans, shoes, baby clothes and household goods: the larger the market, the more variety on offer!
They're crowded affairs, full of colour and noise as shoppers jostle for space, queue at stalls, stand and socialize and generally enjoy the experience of shopping at a relaxed pace!
Words of warning
When buying fruit, choose stalls that have prices clearly marked and always ask for the receipt so you can check you've not been overcharged. Traders are obliged by law to give a receipt with a purchase, so don't be shy of asking for one if you feel the bill may not be correct. It's always advisable to check the bill and make sure that the correct price per kilo has been charged and the number of items you have corresponds to the receipt (in Spanish “ticket”).
Watch out for pickpockets, crowded areas such as markets tend to attract them all the world over, and don't be scared to rummage, everyone does and that’s half the fun of it!
