Mercat de Sant Jordi

South Ibiza


Ibiza is full of overpriced 'hippy' markets but this quirky secondhand affair, in the dust bowl of an old horse-and-buggy racetrack, is something else. It's packed with stuff you don't need – clothes, books, bric-a-brac – but great fun to browse. It's 4km southwest of Ibiza Town. Buses between Ibiza Town and the airport or Platja de Ses Salines pass through.
