The little wooden Christmas huts are back in the square, lending a uniquely festive feel to Vara de Rey and they’re open daily until Monday January 06, 2024. Head into town for a browse or to pick up some crafty gifts or cute artisan stocking fillers for all the family. From hand-made soaps and jewellery to Italian aged Parmesan, there’s always a treat to be found among the collection of stalls and many an interesting conversation to be had too.
Bouncy castles are inflated in the plaza on the weekends to distract the little ones, and Santa’s hut and reindeer are also in the vicinity. The wide array of bars and cafés serving glühwein or cava can add a festive spirit to the evening’s shopping, but bear in mind that between 2pm and 5pm, siesta still applies (even at Christmas in Ibiza!) so the market stalls – and the jumping castles – are closed, so time your visit carefully.
