We show you the 'hippie' and artisan markets of Ibiza
The island is famous for its hippy markets, so much so that they are a must for tourists and residents alike. Although most of them are held during the summer season, some of them keep their activity throughout the year. We share with you a list of the most important street markets in Ibiza.
Handicrafts, jewelry, fashion, organic food, ... A day of shopping in any Eivissa's small market means going back, in a way, to the bohemian past of Ibiza in the 60's. At that time, many artists took refuge on the island because of its freedom of expression and unique atmosphere.
Even today that spirit is still preserved and these markets become the meeting point for artisans, painters, designers, travelers and locals. Discover and experience it yourself in the following hippie markets.
