On Saturdays, 8:00-14:00 on Plaça Major according to the mallorca.com calendar (guidebooks give 8:30-13:30 or 9:00-13:30). Three listings agree on Saturday.

Where can I park in Santanyí on a Saturday?

The public car park at Carrer Sebastiana Clar 15 is close to the centre but fills up quickly on market days; the neighbouring street often has spaces. You can park free on the outskirts; before 10:00 there are plenty of free spaces, after 10:00 far fewer.

How do I get from Palma to Santanyí without a car?

There is no direct line in this TIB feed: take bus 501 from the Intermodal station to Campos (about 40-55 min), then line 517, 515 or 516 to Santanyí. Together there are about 51 services in both directions on a weekday between Campos and Santanyí.
