Las Dalias Hippy Market in Sant Carles began its journey in 1954 as a humble roadside bar, but it was in the 1980s that it truly emerged as a hub of hippy culture on the island. Las Dalias is a maze of over 300 stalls, offering a vast array of goods, from handmade crafts and jewellery to clothing and organic products. The market also features live music performances, creative workshops, and a rich selection of food options.
Every weekend (check opening times), Las Dalias Hippy Market draws in a multitude of artisans who fill the gardens with vibrant colours, exotic scents, and a touch of fantasy. Beyond the selection of handmade and accessible clothing, there are unique pieces of jewellery, crafts, musical instruments, decor items, accessories, artwork, books, hammocks, handcrafted shoes, and incense. Visitors can also unwind with a massage or glimpse into the future through palm and card readings.
Las Dalias Hippy Market also hosts a restaurant that blends world cuisines, a tapas bar, several drink bars, a street food area, a natural juice station, homemade pizzas, slushies, and a Berber tent offering teas and sweets. In the afternoons, the ‘Soul Bar’ becomes a gathering point, with DJs from Las Dalias setting the vibe until the market closes.
During the winter months, visiting Las Dalias offers a more relaxed experience, with time to stroll through the market and chat with the artisans and artists who gather there on Saturdays. Winter brings a different pace, far from the bustling summer Saturdays. A trip to Las Dalias in January or February can also be paired with a visit to other scenic spots on the island.
