Mercadillo de Cabo de Palos

Mercadillo de Cabo de Palos is the street market held every Sunday morning on Calle Brezo. It is very large, with many stalls, and reviews mainly mention three things: fruit and vegetables, affordable clothing and shoes.

What is sold

There is almost everything, although you need to browse the stalls. Visitors mention these most often:

• Seasonal fruit and vegetables
• Low-priced clothing
• Shoes, among the most frequently mentioned stalls
• Roast chicken and churros (fried dough pastries) to take away

When to visit

It opens only on Sundays, from early morning until after midday. The most repeated advice is to arrive early, especially in summer: by mid-morning the heat builds and moving between the stalls becomes harder.

Getting there and parking

Several reviews highlight the large parking area beside the market. The entrance and parking are wheelchair-accessible. From La Manga, it is a few minutes along the road linking the Gran Vía with Cabo de Palos; the guide to getting to La Manga explains access routes in the area.

The market makes a Sunday morning outing before heading down to the harbour or beach.
