If you’re looking for the authentic, unhurried Mallorca, the weekly market in Ariany is the place for you. This tiny village in Pla de Mallorca is one of the smallest municipalities on the island, and its Thursday market is a quiet, welcoming village market with almost no tourists—a place where shopping still means being part of the community.

What can you find at the weekly market in Ariany?

The market in Ariany is small and primarily serves the people from the town and the surrounding hamlets. At the few stalls, you’ll find mainly fresh fruits and vegetables from the surrounding area, which the region’s farmers often grow and sell themselves. There are also a few stalls selling textiles, clothing, and everyday goods. If you’re expecting a wide selection or tourist-oriented crafts, you’ve come to the wrong place—it’s precisely this modest, authentic character that makes Ariany so charming.

When and where?

The weekly market in Ariany takes place every Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It’s centered around the Plaça Major in the town center, just a few steps from City Hall and the distinctive village church. From there, the stalls are spread out across the compact square.

Directions & Parking

Ariany is located in the heart of the Pla de Mallorca, between Petra, Maria de la Salut, and Sineu, and can be reached from Palma in about 45 minutes by car via the Ma-15 toward Manacor. Public transportation is limited, so driving is recommended. You’ll usually find parking easily and for free in the quiet streets around the town center—a major advantage over the crowded tourist markets.

Tip for Your Market Visit

Since the market is so small, it’s especially worth visiting in combination with a trip inland. Combine a visit to Ariany with a stop in nearby Petra, the birthplace of Junípero Serra, or with the large Wednesday market in Sineu. Come in the morning, treat yourself to a coffee at one of the small village bars, and enjoy the leisurely pace of authentic Mallorca.
