We are coming over in the next week and wondered if the Saturday night market is in Vera or Vera playa? Also is it easy to find as we will be driving from Mojacar? Finally is it worth going to and are there many stalls? 

Pat and Rosemarie

The night market was in Vera Playa, but with the end of the summer season, so also ended the night market I’m afraid.

There were a large variety of stalls and I thoroughly enjoyed it, although understandably it was skewed towards the tourist market .... sadly none of which helps you now ... sorry!

Thanks Dario, at least you saved us a wasted journey. We are hoping to visit the market in Garrucha during the morning. Do you know if that one is still going?

Hiya Pat - very much so.  Garrucha market is Friday mornings from around 9:00 until about 2:00 throughout the year

Hi Pat

It’s a Bank Holiday this Friday (12th) so there is no market in Garrucha this week

Thanks Dario, we will def try the Vera one this Saturday. Is it in the centre of Vera and is there parking nearby? We will travel by car from Mojacar.

Pat, Vera market is right through the centre of Vera, and takes up most of the centre of Vera, spreading from Calle Del Mar, up through the Plaza Mayor and on up and around.  It’s a very very big market.  The best parking is on the parking lot behind the Hotel Terraza Carmona.  Walk up to though the hotel and the market spreads from there outwards.
