These enchanting evenings, stopping off at stalls in a quiet and peaceful setting, are bathed in the warm, dim light of summer evenings. An obligatory stop to discover local produce and take some home with you.

Imagine a quiet stroll through the old quarter of Es Mercadal on summer evenings. Its narrow cobbled streets are the setting for a charming and colourful night market. With a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, it is perfect for exploring local Menorcan produce and taking some home with you.

The market is open from June to September, from 19:00 to 22:30, and is one of the most emblematic on the island. Tradition, crafts, local flavours and live music converge in a charming and relaxed atmosphere.

The Es Mercadal night market is strategically located in the very heart of Menorca, at the foot of El Toro, its highest point. Es Mercadal is a small village, inhabited by just 5,000 people. As a result, when the market is held, the town council sets up special parking areas so that nobody misses out on the opportunity to visit.

This night market awakens the senses and enchants visitors with the magic of the island and the warmth of its people. A stroll through the beautiful and well-kept old town of Es Mercadal is like stepping into a postcard, where every corner reveals a new discovery of the local culture and gastronomy. Here, the senses are flooded with the intoxicating aromas of local delicacies: aromatic wines, fresh honey, local olive oil and a variety of local and seasonal fruits and vegetables. You can't miss the artisan cheese, the bread made with local wheat and the island’s typical sausages. In addition, there is a tempting selection of homemade sweets that are sure to enchant you.

But it's not all about food. You'll also find a wide variety of local handicrafts, from natural beauty products to handmade wooden and ceramic decorations. Each item has its own history and reflects the rich culture of Menorca.

And to complete the experience, don't miss the live performances by local artists. Music fills the air and creates a lively atmosphere that invites visitors to stay for dinner and enjoy the evening.
