Ibiza Town & Hippy Market Of Es Cana

Ibiza is a pretty island and has more to offer than just the infamous nightlife. We visited Ibiza during our Mediterranean cruise back in October 2006 and the weather was glorious as you can see from the photographs and the scenery was very picturesque.

As well as admiring the views from Ibiza town over the Mediterranean and relaxing at a bar on the sea front, we also did an excursion to the famous Hippy Market of Es Cana, which is one of Ibiza's most popular tourist excursions.

The Hippy Market is full of stalls that sell everything from cakes to jewellery, pictures to leather items. A great place to grab a souvenir or a gift for family and friends back home.

The market has a great atmosphere and the rhythms of violins and guitars can be heard as you wander from stall to stall.

The centre of the market has a stage area for live acts to play.

Back in 2006 this was a half day excursion which cost £18.50 each and was available on a Wednesday.

If you love shopping and the hustle and bustle of a market stall then this is a great excursion.

The world famous Hippy Market Punta Arabí of Es Cana is one of Ibiza's most popular tourist attractions in Ibiza.

This market is open every Wednesday from April to October from 10.00am to 6.30pm on the grounds of the Club Punta Arabi. There is ample car parking and coach trips, buses and boats run from around the island to enable you to get there. Entry to the market is free and parking is 5 euros.

The Hippy Market is full of countless stalls that are located beneath the shade of pine trees along winding paths between pretty white bungalows. The stalls sell everything from cakes to jewellery, pictures to leather items, sequinned bags to cotton clothing. Many stalls sell handmade items so it is a great place to grab a souvenir or a gift for family and friends back home.

The market has a great atmosphere and the rhythms of drums, violins and guitars can be heard as you wander from stall to stall.

Whenwe were there the centre of the market had a stage area for live acts to play. Food and drink can be bought at the market so a half day or full day can be easily spent at the Hippy Market.

If you love shopping and the hustle and bustle of market then this is a great excursion.
