Tips for Market Shopping in Murcia

Early Arrival: It is best to arrive before 11:00 AM to get the best choice of fresh produce and to avoid the peak midday heat.

Self-Service: At many fruit and vegetable stalls, it is customary to pick your own produce into the provided plastic bags (bolsas).

Public Holidays: Markets are occasionally cancelled or moved to the previous day if they coincide with a local or national holiday.

Payments: While some larger clothing stalls may accept cards, the majority of traders (especially for food) are cash-only.
