The vibrant Santanyí market, where you can find a wide variety of products, including local products, artisanal foods such as cheese and sobrasada, crafts, textiles and much more.

The market in Santanyí is definitely worth a visit and is certainly one of the highlights of the region for many vacationers. The selection of handicrafts, local products, clothing, food, and souvenirs is large and varied. You can find many interesting stalls and stroll comfortably through the beautiful streets of the town. We also noticed the prices positively. Many products are offered at fair prices, and there are numerous regional specialties to discover. Specialties that can partially be enjoyed before Easter. However, the market has a small disadvantage: It is extremely popular. During our visit, it was so crowded that leisurely strolling became somewhat difficult. Instead of an idyllic market atmosphere, it felt somewhat hectic and stressful at times. Even finding a parking spot can become a test of patience, as many visitors come to Santanyí on market days. Nevertheless, we certainly understand why the market is so well attended. For the vendors, the large turnout is certainly positive and shows how attractive the offerings are. My conclusion: A beautiful market with a wide selection, fair prices, and many regional products. Those who arrive early and bring some patience will spend a successful morning here. The only downside is the large number of visitors, but this ultimately speaks to the quality and popularity of the market.

Gallery Santanyi Arte is by Austrian artist Wolfgang Autriche is located at the back of the local church in Calle sol 5, Open on market days Wednesday and Saturday from 11:00 to 14:30
Unfortunately, the arrival takes more than an hour as many hotels are approached to take guests with us, in Palma we had to change buses - that took again! For German-speaking guests, a tape was played 1x briefly, there were no further explanations, no explanations return, again a tedious return journey with bus change! The market itself is wonderful, a lot of hustle and bustle, what to expect, the town itself really worth seeing.
The precious market. I bought several pieces of clothing for my daughters and me in a stall where they had very nice women's clothes, the girl who attended us was called Maria and was very friendly and nice, advising us at all times. Next year we will return without hesitation.
What a absolute amazing day out 👍we enjoyed every minute of it we can only rate it as one that is all day 💯% definitely recommend to others! Thank you for a lovely day 💋
This was a fabulous excursion outside of the Palma city limit. We passed through several interesting towns that I wished we had time to stop in. The highlight of the trip, Playa de Muro, did not disappoint. Beautiful beach!
Beautiful, I recommend. The beach is superb for a day on the beach with restaurants near by. Formentor is a must see for yourself.
