How to Get a Stall at the Libros Fair
Would you like to set up a stall at the Libros Fair market, located at Santa Pola? To sell as a street vendor, you need a municipal street vending permit or license: this is issued by the town council, not the market itself, and typically requires that you be registered as a self-employed individual or a business, be in good standing with the tax authorities and Social Security, and have liability insurance that covers the stall.
Libros Fair is held on every day. The exact fee is set by the Santa Pola town council; please check it before submitting your application.
Applications are submitted to the town council, usually online or in person, and may be granted directly (if there are open stalls) or through a public call for stall applications with a waiting list when demand exceeds the number of available stalls. You can download the municipal ordinance on street vending from Santa Pola (check the town council’s official website to make sure it’s still in effect, in case it has been updated).
Check the procedure on the Santa Pola town council website: https://www.sax.es.
- Contact the town council's commerce or markets department
- Gather the necessary documentation: registration as a self-employed individual or business, proof of being up to date with the tax authorities and Social Security, and liability insurance
- Submit the application for a street vending permit (through the online portal or at the registry office)
- Pay the applicable municipal fee, if required by the town council
- Pick up your authorization and bring it with you on market day
