Get to Know the Market
A little background
he origins of the Carmen Neighborhood weekly street market date back to the 1960s, when farmers and craftsmen from the region would come to the town of Molina de Segura to trade and sell their goods. As in so many other towns in Murcia, this street-market activity began as part of the agricultural calendar and livestock fairs, and over the generations it became one of the town’s most important social and economic gatherings.
With the arrival of the 21st century and the economic transformation of rural areas, the weekly street market in Molina de Segura evolved: it gave way to large textile and footwear stalls, incorporated vendors from other provinces, and became more professionalized under municipal regulations. Many of today’s market traders are third- or fourth-generation members of families who have been attending this event for decades, maintaining a direct connection to the town’s commercial fabric.
Today, the Carmen Neighborhood weekly street market retains that down-to-earth essence while adapting to new trends: organic products, contemporary crafts, local cuisine, and a close relationship with consumers that large shopping centers cannot offer. The town council and the vendors’ association work together to preserve its traditional character in the heart of Molina de Segura.

How to Get a Stall at the Barrio del Carmen
Would you like to set up a stall at the Barrio del Carmen market, located at Molina de Segura? 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.
Barrio del Carmen is held on Tuesdays. The exact fee is set by the Molina de Segura 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 Molina de Segura (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 Molina de Segura town council website: https://www.molinadesegura.es.
