The market of Sant Joan is one of the newest on the island but, without a doubt, one of the most genuine ones. It is a very special market, with an atmosphere that transmits the air of a yesteryear society which continues to believe in the harmony with nature. Visiting this special market will make you feel far away from the hustle and bustle of towns and cities. The smells of fresh fruit and natural incenses will make you feel an extraordinary inner peace, an environment that surrounds you and invites you to join it and forget about everything else.

It is an idyllic place to spend a pleasant summer or winter morning for going for a walk, having a beer with tapas and enjoying live music. Which day to go? Well it depends on the time of the year. If you decide to go in the summer, from June, Friday afternoons. Or, if you live all year round on the island, check it out in the winter on Sunday mornings.
