Las Dalias
Every Saturday in Las Dalias, from 10:00 to 20:00, a large group of craftsmen and traders get together to fill the gardens with their bright coloured ware and exotic aromas…. Since it’s creation on Valentine’s Day in 1985, it has grown and the handful of stalls has multiplied to it’s present census of about 200. In the August Markets, it is estimated that about 20.000 people visit us every Saturday… Aside from the possibility of buying clothing, jewellery, crafts, musical instruments, CDs, decoration, accessories, paintings, books, hammocks, handmade shoes, incense, antiques, etc, there is also the chance to receive a massage, have your cards read or even having your hand read… Don’t forget the “world market” in the hall, the “African Sky Lounge” and it’s stalls on the terrace, nor the Namasté room in which the theme are wares from India
There is also a beautiful old world restaurant, a tapas bar, several drinking spots, a natural fruit juice stand, a fast-food point and even an Arabian tea-tent with a selection of teas and Moroccan pastries. In the afternoons there is a social buzz in the Soul Bar, where Djs from Pacha play till the markets end…
NIGHT MARKET
On Monday nights, a smaller more relaxed version of the classic market takes place. Some 110 stalls, selected for their quality, comprise the layout. Aside from shopping, there’s the possibility of enjoying the Teatent, the fruit-juice bar, or the restaurant, on this occasion, set up under the vines of the garden to allow eating under the stars.
Aside from the food, there is live music, usually in acoustic format, that often includes surprises like world-class musicians, friends of the house, that may appear with no previous notice. There is also an exhibition of Didjeridoos and Clowns during different moments of the evening.
CHRISTMAS MARKET
Also at Christmas, the visitor can obtain a taste of Las Dalias by it’s Christmas Market.
From around the 12th of December, the hall, gallery & Restaurant are dressed in Christmas colours and approximately 50 stalls offer the spirit of the more alternative Ibiza. Clothing, accessories, décor, antiques, exotic articles or crafts, all comprise a diverse display of shopping possibilities. The atmosphere extends to the food and beverage part of the market as well. In the hall bar, the traditional Glüewein, warm wine with spices in the German tradition, is the star offer of the bar.
In the restaurant, there are traditional dishes for the season, as well as the usual exotic fare the restaurant is known for. On occasion, there is live music in the restaurant by great island talents in duo or trio format.
The market closes on the 24th of December and the smaller “Reyes” or “Kings” market opens on the 27th till the 5th of January
