What Days Are the Markets in Seville?

For quick reference, here are the main pop-up markets in Seville and when they run.

If you’re visiting Seville for a short trip, I’d start with El Jueves, Plaza del Cabildo, Plaza del Museo, or the Triana art market before venturing farther out. 

Hytasa Cerro del Águila is included because people do search for it, but it’s much more of a local flea market than a tourist-friendly stop.

Which Seville Market Should You Visit? 

  • If you only have time for one flea market in Seville, I’d choose Mercadillo El Jueves. It’s central, historic, easy to combine with exploring Calle Feria, and has the best mix of antiques, vintage clothing, and local atmosphere.
  • For a Sunday market in Seville, Plaza del Cabildo is the easiest central option, while Mercadillo Paseo del Arte in Triana is better if you’re looking for handmade pieces or artwork. 
  • Hytasa Cerro del Águila is the largest and most local-feeling Sunday flea market on this list, but I wouldn’t recommend it as a first choice for most visitors to the city.

1. Mercadillo El Jueves

  • Market Type: Flea, second-hand and antique market
  • Day and Hours: Every Thursday, 8 am to 3 pm, except Holy Thursday
  • Location: Calle Feria, Casco Antiguo (the market runs along most of the street)

Mercadillo El Jueves is the most famous flea market in Seville, and also the oldest. It dates back to the 13th century and takes place every Thursday along Calle Feria, not far from Seville’s oldest food market

This is the market I’d recommend first to most visitors because it feels local without requiring you to travel far outside the historic centre. 

With over 120 stalls, you’ll find a wide mix of second-hand goods and collectables: flamenco dresses, vintage postcards, old crockery, paintings, vinyl records, cameras, and all sorts of odds and ends. It’s the kind of market where you genuinely never know what you’ll come across.

Go earlier in the morning if you can. It’s easier to browse before the street gets busier, and the better vintage and antique pieces are usually easier to spot before everyone has picked through the stalls. 

It doesn’t feel particularly touristy, which is part of the appeal. This is very much a local institution, and wandering through it gives you a real feel for the neighbourhood and the people who live here.

If you’re into vintage finds or enjoy a good browse, El Jueves is one of the best antique markets in Seville. You do have to search a little, but the bargains are there if you put in the time.

I’d pair this with coffee or breakfast on Calle Feria rather than treating it as a quick in-and-out stop. The market is part of the neighbourhood experience.

2. Zoco en Parque María Luisa

  • Market Type: Artisan market
  • Day and Hours: Every 3rd Sunday of the month, 11 am to 3:30 pm (not July or August)
  • Location: Avenida Don Pelayo (inside Parque María Luisa)

Zoco en Parque María Luisa is a monthly artisan market that takes place inside one of Seville’s most beautiful parks, right behind the Plaza de España on Avenida Don Pelayo.

You’ll find a mix of handmade fashion, accessories, home decor, and gourmet food stalls. It’s a relaxed way to spend a Sunday morning, especially if you’re not in a rush.

This one is more of a pretty Sunday stroll than a serious shopping market, which is exactly why I like it. This is a particularly nice market to visit during springtime in Seville, as the park is in full bloom. 

There are a few craft markets in Seville that follow a similar format, and you’ll often see the same sellers rotating between them. 

This one is my favourite, mostly because the setting in Parque María Luisa makes it worth going even if you don’t buy anything. If you haven’t visited the park yet, this is a good excuse to do it.

I wouldn’t plan your whole day around it, but it’s a lovely add-on if you’re already visiting Plaza de España or want a slower morning away from the busiest streets.

3. Mercadillo Paseo del Arte

  • Market Type: Arts and crafts market
  • Day and Hours: Saturday and Sunday, 10 am to 2 pm (all year round)
  • Location: Paseo de la O (near Triana Bridge)

This is a good Sunday market in Seville if you’re already planning to spend time in Triana. Mercadillo Paseo del Arte runs along the riverside on Paseo de Nuestra Señora de la O, right by the river in the Triana neighbourhood.

It’s also one of the easier markets because you don’t need to go out of your way for it; it fits naturally into a Triana wander. 

It’s been running since 2008, organised by the Painters Association of Seville, and focuses on handmade and locally crafted items. You’ll find pottery, ceramics, hand-painted artwork, textiles, jewellery, and sculptures, with a mix of traditional and contemporary styles.

It’s a good spot for picking up something genuinely made in Seville, rather than the generic souvenir shop fare. The riverside setting makes it a pleasant browse even if you’re not looking for anything specific.

If you want a souvenir that actually feels connected to the city, I’d look here before buying something from one of the more generic shops near the Cathedral.

4. Mercadillo de Plaza del Cabildo

  • Market Type: Flea market, antiques and collectables
  • Day and Hours: Sunday, 9 am to 2 pm
  • Location: Plaza del Cabildo

This is one of the most photogenic spots in Seville on a Sunday morning. Mercadillo de Plaza del Cabildo takes place in the Plaza del Cabildo, a beautiful circular courtyard with marble columns just a short walk from the Cathedral.

It’s also one of the easiest options if you’re staying in the historic centre and don’t want to spend extra time getting across the city. 

It’s a small market, and the focus is firmly on collectables: old coins, stamps, gemstones, original artwork, and jewellery. It’s a good one for serious collectors, but also worth a stop if you’re in the area and want to browse.

Because it’s tucked away in a quieter square, it rarely feels hectic. The Cabildo Square flea market has a calm atmosphere even on busy tourist weekends, which makes it a pleasant contrast to the streets nearby.

It’s not the biggest market, so I’d treat it as a short stop rather than a full morning activity. But because the square itself is so beautiful, it’s still worth detouring for if you’re nearby.

5. Mercadillo de Arte Plaza del Museo

  • Market Type: Artwork
  • Day and Hours: Sunday, 10 am to 2 pm
  • Location: Plaza del Museo

This open-air art market in Seville runs every Sunday morning in front of the Museum of Fine Arts, in Plaza del Museo. It showcases paintings, drawings, and sculptures from local artists, with a mix of styles from traditional to contemporary.

This is more of an art browse than a flea market, so it’s best for anyone who actually wants to look at local artwork rather than rummage through second-hand finds. 

It’s a good stop if you’re looking for a piece of original artwork to take home, and the setting in front of one of Seville’s best museums makes it a natural add-on to a Sunday visit to the area.

I wouldn’t cross the city just for this market unless you’re specifically interested in art, but it’s a great add-on if you’re already visiting the museum or nearby streets. 

6. Mercado de Artesanía El Postigo 

  • Market Type: Artisan market
  • Day and Hours: Monday to Friday 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, weekends 10 am to 8 pm
  • Location: Calle Arfe, Casco Antiguo

This is the only indoor market on the list, and a useful one to know about because it runs most days of the week, not just weekends.

It’s also the safest backup option if your trip doesn’t line up with one of the weekly or monthly pop-up markets. 

El Postigo is housed inside a historic building that was once part of Seville’s old city gate. It’s now a creative space spread across multiple floors, with stalls selling ceramics, jewellery, leather goods, textiles, and other handmade items from local artisans.

If you’re looking for a quality, locally made souvenir and don’t want to wait for a weekend market, this is a reliable option. It’s also in a central location, close to the Cathedral and the river.

I’d recommend this more for intentional souvenir shopping than for casual browsing, especially if you want something handmade but don’t have time to chase down a weekend market.

7. Mercadillo de Plaza del Duque

  • Market Type: Clothing and accessories market
  • Day and Hours: Wednesday to Saturday, 9 am to late (weather dependent)
  • Location: Plaza del Duque 

Located on a central square near El Corte Inglés, Mercadillo de Plaza del Duque is a small street market with a distinctive character. 

This is not a classic flea market, so don’t come here expecting antiques or vintage rummaging. It’s much more about clothing, accessories, and alternative-style pieces. 

It’s the quirkiest of the clothing and accessories markets in Seville, with stalls selling tie-dye T-shirts, crochet tops, baggy trousers, handmade jewellery, and leather goods.

It has a strong 90s festival and alternative vibe, which either appeals to you or it doesn’t. If you’re after good-quality leather bags or belts, this is actually a solid place to look.

I’d stop here if you’re already shopping around the centre, but I wouldn’t prioritise it over El Jueves or the Sunday markets if you’re mainly looking for flea market finds. 

It runs from Wednesday to Saturday, which also makes it one of the more accessible markets for visitors who aren’t in Seville at the weekend.

8. Mercado de Productos Ecológicos (Alameda Market, Seville)

  • Market Type: Ecological and artisan market
  • Day and Hours: Every 2nd Saturday of the month, 9 am to 3 pm (not August)
  • Location: Alameda de Hércules

This monthly market on Alameda de Hércules is billed as an ecological market, but in practice it’s a mix of organic produce stalls and handmade items. 

When I visited, there were more candles, clothing, and accessories than food products, though there was also a good selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, olive oil, honey, and cheese. 

That’s worth knowing before you go, because it may not feel like a traditional food market if you’re expecting rows of produce stalls. 

Everything is grown or made with eco-friendly practices, so it’s worth a look if you want to support local producers or pick up some organic food to take back to your accommodation.

The bonus here is the setting. Alameda de Hércules is one of Seville’s most popular squares, with good cafes on both sides, so it’s a nice way to spend a Saturday morning regardless.

I’d visit this one for the overall Alameda morning rather than the market alone: browse the stalls, get a coffee, and enjoy the neighbourhood atmosphere

9. Hytasa Cerro Del Aguila Flea Market

  • Market Type: Flea market
  • Day and Hours: Every Sunday 10 am to 3 pm
  • Location: Avenida de Hytasa, Cerro del Águila

This is the most unpolished flea market on the list, and it’s much more of a local market than a tourist attraction. I’m including the Hytasa Cerro del Águila flea market because people do search for it, but it’s not the first one I’d recommend for most visitors to Seville. 

It has more of a proper rummage-market feel than the central markets, so it’s better suited to people who enjoy digging through second-hand items rather than browsing curated artisan stalls. 

It’s a bigger market than many people expect, and because it’s off the tourist trail, prices can be lower. That said, the area is less polished than the centre, so I’d only suggest going if you’re a confident independent traveller and specifically want a very local flea market experience. 

If you’re only in Seville for a few days, I’d choose El Jueves, Plaza del Cabildo, or one of the art markets instead. Hytasa is useful to know about, but it’s more of a local option than a must-visit market for tourists. 

The easiest way to get there is by metro. Get off at Cocheras station, which is close to the market, rather than walking there from the historic centre.
