Hippiemarkt, Artisan market in El Pilar de la Mola, Spain.
Hippiemarkt is an artisan market in El Pilar de la Mola on Formentera island, where numerous stands display handmade jewelry, leather goods, clothing, and local products. The vendors arrange their merchandise across the eastern section of the island.
The market began in 1984 and has remained a central gathering spot since then. Its history ties the island to the alternative lifestyle movement that emerged in the 1960s.
The artisans work visibly at their stands, creating personalized items while musicians play Spanish songs in the background. This combination makes the market a place where you can watch craftsmanship happen and hear music at the same time.
The market operates Wednesday and Sunday from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM from May through October. Entry is free and parking is available nearby.
Every vendor produces items only on Formentera and follows strict local manufacturing standards. This requirement sets the market apart from others across the Balearic Islands.
