Spain’s summer markets that still feel local
Most markets in Spain don’t change much in summer, but where they sit in the town makes a difference to how useful they are. In Cehegín, the market runs along Gran Vía below the old town around Plaza del Alpargatero. In Xàbia, it spreads out from Plaza de la Constitución into streets like Carrer Príncep d’Astúries. In Frigiliana, the stalls follow Calle Real as it climbs toward Barribarto. In Mutriku, the setup stays down by the harbour rather than moving into the upper streets. Even at Las Dalias near Sant Carles, everything is contained within the same enclosed layout rather than connecting to the surrounding area.
That positioning is what keeps them consistent. While the upper parts of these towns or the coastal areas get busier later in the day, the markets stay in the same places and follow the same weekly or evening routine. What changes in summer is the movement. Where it slows, where people stop, and how far they actually walk.
Each of these markets works differently once you arrive. Some follow one street from start to finish. Others form a loose loop around a square or across a few connected streets. In smaller places, you’ll see the entire setup within a few minutes. In others, you need to step in and out of different sections to understand how it connects.
This guide focuses on markets where that structure is still clear in summer, and on how to use it. Where to enter, which section to walk first, and when to leave before the pace changes.

Cehegín’s weekly market in the lower town
Cehegín’s weekly market takes place below the historic centre rather than inside it, and that shapes how you approach it. The old town sits higher up around Plaza del Castillo, while the market runs through the lower part of town along Gran Vía, centred around Plaza del Alpargatero and extending into the adjoining streets that connect toward Avenida de la Libertad.
If you arrive by car, you’ll usually come in from the lower side of town and park somewhere along Avenida de la Libertad or in the streets just off Gran Vía. On Friday mornings, parts of Gran Vía are closed to traffic, and the first stalls begin appearing before you reach Plaza del Alpargatero. If you’re staying in the upper part of Cehegín, the walk down follows Calle Mayor, which leads directly into the lower town. The shift is clear once the street opens out and the rows of stalls come into view.
The market is usually held on Fridays. By around 9:00, most vendors are set up, and by 9:30 the full layout is in place. It runs in a linear formation along Gran Vía, with stalls arranged on both sides of the street and additional clusters spreading into Plaza del Alpargatero. The square acts as a central point where the layout widens slightly, and this is where movement slows the most later in the morning.
Clothing and household goods dominate the central stretch, particularly along Gran Vía leading into the square. Tables of folded garments, shoes, and everyday items are placed close together, and this is where the walking space tightens. As you move further out toward the edges, especially closer to Avenida de la Libertad, the pace becomes more open and easier to navigate.
Produce stalls are more limited and tend to appear in smaller clusters rather than one continuous section. You’ll find them positioned near side streets or at the edges of the main rows. Depending on the season, there are fruit and vegetables from the surrounding Murcia region, along with olives and simple prepared items. The quantities are small, and most purchases are for immediate use rather than bulk shopping.
One detail that stands out is how people move through the square at Plaza del Alpargatero. Many don’t walk the entire market. They enter from one side, stop at one or two stalls near the square, and then continue along Gran Vía without returning. The flow is directional rather than circular, and very few people double back.
There are no food stalls or places to sit within the market itself. Instead, the activity continues just outside it. Along Gran Vía and toward the connecting streets leading back uphill, cafés begin to fill from mid-morning, and you’ll see people stepping out of the market and continuing their routine there rather than staying in place.
The busiest point is usually between 10:30 and 12:00, especially around Plaza del Alpargatero where the layout narrows again after opening into the square. Earlier in the morning, it’s possible to walk the full stretch without stopping, and the structure is easier to read.
Cehegín doesn’t attract large numbers of short-stay visitors, and the market reflects that. It follows the same weekly pattern regardless of the season, positioned below the historic centre and used as part of a short, practical routine rather than something to spend time in.
If you plan to include it, it works best to start near Avenida de la Libertad around 9:00–10:30, walk along Gran Vía toward Plaza del Alpargatero, and then decide whether to continue back uphill via Calle Mayor or move further along the lower streets. That way, you follow the natural direction people already use rather than walking against it.
If you want more places where daily life still feels local, these quiet Spanish towns make planning a slower route much easier.
Altea’s evening artisan market along Calle San Miguel
Altea’s artisan market takes place in the upper old town rather than along the seafront, and it follows the narrow ridge that leads up to Plaza de la Iglesia. The main concentration runs along Calle San Miguel, with additional stalls stretching down into Calle Mayor and a few smaller clusters branching into the connecting lanes just below the square.
If you arrive from the seafront, the most direct route is along Calle San Pedro and then up through Calle Mayor. The climb is steady and takes around 10–15 minutes, with the streets narrowing noticeably as you get closer to the old town. The first stalls usually appear halfway up Calle Mayor, but the layout becomes denser as you reach the junction with Calle San Miguel.
If you’re driving, it’s easier to park in the lower town near Avenida de la Nucía or along the seafront and walk up. The upper streets are restricted and not practical to access once the market is active.
The market runs in the evening, typically from around 18:30, with most stalls set up by 19:30. The structure is consistent across summer, even though it’s not tied to a strict weekly schedule. Earlier in the evening, you can still walk the route without stopping. By around 20:30, the central stretch along Calle San Miguel becomes noticeably tighter.
The stalls are set along the edges of the street rather than in rows, which means the walking space runs through the middle and narrows quickly at certain points. This is especially noticeable on Calle San Miguel itself, where the street is at its narrowest and the stalls sit close to the walls. Movement slows here, and people often step into doorways or against the wall to let others pass.
Most stalls focus on handmade goods such as ceramics, jewellery, textiles, and small decorative items. The layout doesn’t change much, and many vendors return to the same position each evening. You’re not comparing across a large area. Instead, you move through in short sections, often doing a quick loop before deciding where to stop.
One detail that becomes clear is how people pause rather than walk continuously. Many stop briefly along Calle Mayor, then continue up toward Plaza de la Iglesia, where the space opens slightly before narrowing again as the street curves back into the smaller lanes. The square itself acts more as a reset point than a place to browse, with people stepping out of the main flow before re-entering further down.
There are no dedicated food stalls within the market. Instead, the activity overlaps directly with the restaurants and cafés already in place. Along Calle Mayor and around Plaza de la Iglesia, tables fill quickly from early evening, and people move between the market and short stops rather than staying in one place.
The busiest point is usually between 20:30 and 22:00, especially along the upper section of Calle San Miguel where the street is narrowest. Earlier than that, the layout is easier to read and the movement is more continuous.
Altea is often visited for its whitewashed streets and coastal views, but the market changes how the old town is used in the evening rather than adding something separate. It stays within the same streets and follows the same structure each night.
If you plan to include it, it works best to start lower down along Calle Mayor before 20:00, walk up toward Plaza de la Iglesia, and then return to any stalls you noticed earlier. Trying to move through the full stretch after 21:00 usually means stopping frequently in the narrowest sections.

Xàbia’s weekly market in the old town near Plaza de la Constitución
Xàbia’s weekly market takes place in the old town rather than along the coast, and it spreads across several connected streets rather than forming a single square. The main concentration is around Plaza de la Constitución, extending into Plaça Celestino Pons, Carrer Príncep d’Astúries, and the surrounding streets that branch out from the church square.
If you arrive by car, it’s easiest to park along Avenida de Palmela or in the streets just outside the historic centre and walk in from there. On Thursdays, the closer roads are partially closed, and the first stalls appear as you move toward Plaza de la Constitución. If you’re coming from the port or Arenal, the old town sits inland, so you’ll need to drive or take a short taxi rather than walk directly.
By around 9:00, most vendors are set up, and by 9:30 the layout is fully in place. The market doesn’t run in one continuous line. Instead, it forms a loose loop around Plaza de la Constitución, with smaller sections extending outward. It’s easy to miss parts of it if you don’t circle back through the connecting streets.
Clothing and household goods dominate the outer sections, especially along Carrer Príncep d’Astúries and the wider streets leading into Plaça Celestino Pons. Tables of folded garments, shoes, and everyday items are placed close together, and this is where the movement slows most by mid-morning. Closer to Plaza de la Constitución, where the space opens slightly, you’ll find more of the produce stalls.
Depending on the season, there are fruit, vegetables, olives, and some products from the Marina Alta area, often sold loose and in smaller quantities. The selection is limited, but you’ll occasionally see local almonds, honey, or preserved items alongside the produce rather than grouped separately.
What stands out in Xàbia is how people move through the layout. Very few walk it in one direction from start to finish. Most enter near Plaza de la Constitución, move into one or two streets, then return through a different route. Around Plaça Celestino Pons, where several streets meet, it’s common to pass through the same area more than once without intending to.
There are no dedicated food stalls within the market. Instead, activity shifts immediately into the surrounding streets. Around Plaza de la Constitución and along Carrer Príncep d’Astúries, cafés begin to fill from mid-morning, and you’ll see people stepping out of the market and continuing there rather than staying within the rows of stalls.
The busiest point is usually between 10:30 and 12:00, particularly around the central square where multiple streets converge and the walking space tightens. Earlier in the morning, it’s easier to move between sections and understand how the layout connects.
Xàbia is often associated with its coastline, but the market operates entirely within the old town and follows a different rhythm. It doesn’t extend toward the port or Arenal and remains separate from the busier coastal areas.
If you plan to include it, it works best to start at Plaza de la Constitución around 9:00–10:30, move outward through Carrer Príncep d’Astúries and the surrounding streets, and then return through a different route. That way, you cover the full layout without needing to double back intentionally.
Agost Pottery Stalls, Alicante – A Market that Feels Like a Studio Visit
The small village of Agost sits just inland from Alicante. If you’ve spent time along the coast, this feels like a different world. The pace drops immediately. The air is quiet. And instead of souvenir shops and crowds, you see stacks of clay pots drying in the sun and family workshops that have been doing the same thing for generations.
Pottery isn’t treated as a novelty here. It’s a craft people actually use and rely on. The clay in the surrounding hills is good quality, and for centuries families in Agost have shaped it into everyday objects. You won’t find glossy, overdesigned ceramics made for display. Instead, the stalls are full of terracotta pieces made for real life. Think water jugs, cooking pots, plant pots, bowls, and huge jars for storage. Most of it looks simple at first glance, but the shapes and proportions are refined in a very quiet way.
One of the pieces you’ll see everywhere is the botijo, the traditional water jug with a narrow spout and a rounded body. The clay keeps the water naturally cool, which makes sense in this climate. They’re still used here, not just sold as souvenirs.
The pottery stalls aren’t grouped into one touristy market. Instead, they’re scattered through the village. Some are just small storefronts connected to family homes. Others are proper workshops where you can watch someone shaping a pot on the wheel. Often the pieces are set outside to dry, lined up along walls or stacked in little clusters on the ground. It feels casual and lived-in, which is part of the charm.
If you’re curious about how all of this started, the Museo de Alfarería de Agost is worth a short visit. It’s not big, but it gives you a good sense of how the pottery tradition developed here and how important it was to daily life in the region. You get to see old tools, older styles of pottery, and how the techniques have changed (and stayed the same).
What I like about Agost is that it hasn’t turned into a staged “craft village.” It still feels like a working place. You’ll hear wheels turning, people chatting in doorways, and see everyday life happening around the pottery rather than a polished version of it. It’s a good place to wander slowly, step into workshops, ask questions if you’re genuinely interested, and pick up something useful rather than something purely decorative.
If you want a quieter moment away from the coast, this is an easy detour from Alicante and feels completely different. Take your time, wander the lanes, stop for a coffee in the village, and enjoy the fact that some traditions are still just part of normal life here.
Santa Marina del Sil’s small riverside market
Santa Marina del Sil is a small riverside settlement along the Sil, just outside Ponferrada, and the weekly market reflects that scale. It takes place right beside the river near the bridge that connects the two sides of the village, along the short stretch of road that runs parallel to the water. There’s no defined square or central space. The market sits directly within the roadside layout.
If you arrive by car, you’ll likely come in along the CL-631 and turn down toward the river. Parking is informal, usually along the roadside near the bridge or in small open spaces beside the houses. On market mornings, the stalls are visible as soon as you reach the river level, clustered within a very short distance of each other.
The market is usually held once a week in the morning. By around 9:00, the vendors are set up, and by 9:30 the full layout is in place. In total, there are only a handful of stalls, often fewer than ten, arranged loosely along the roadside rather than in rows. You can see everything within a couple of minutes of arriving.
Produce is the main focus. Fruit, vegetables, and simple local goods are laid out in crates or on basic tables, often under small canopies or directly from vans. Quantities are limited, and most items are sold loose rather than packaged. There are rarely more than one or two additional stalls selling clothing or household items, and sometimes none at all.
What stands out is how little movement there is. People arrive, walk directly to one stall, make a purchase, and leave. Very few walk the full stretch from one end to the other, and there’s no sense of browsing across multiple vendors. Most transactions are quick and specific.
The positioning by the river shapes the entire setup. The stalls sit close to the waterline, with the bridge acting as the main reference point. People tend to stay within that immediate area rather than moving further into the village, and there’s no extension into surrounding streets.
There are no food stalls or places to sit within the market. Activity doesn’t spread beyond it either. Once people have finished, they return to their car or continue along the road rather than staying in the area.
The busiest point is usually between 10:00 and 11:30, although even then the space remains open and easy to move through. Outside that window, it can feel almost empty, with only a few people stopping briefly before leaving again.
Santa Marina del Sil is not a destination in the usual sense, and the market reflects that. It operates as a short, practical stop tied to the weekly routine rather than something to build time around.
If you plan to include it, it works best as a brief stop while passing through the area. Arriving mid-morning gives you the full setup, but the visit itself is likely to be short.
Frigiliana’s Sunday craft stalls along Calle Real
Frigiliana’s Sunday setup isn’t organised as a single market. The stalls are spread through the old town, mainly along Calle Real as it climbs toward Barribarto, with smaller clusters appearing in the connecting streets and near the steps that lead higher up toward Calle Alta.
If you arrive by car, most people park in the lower part of town near Avenida de Carlos Cano or in the car park just below the old town and walk up from there. The route leads directly onto Calle Real, where the first stalls begin to appear as the street narrows and the paving changes. There’s no defined starting point. The setup builds gradually as you move uphill.
The stalls are usually set up on Sundays from late morning into the afternoon, often starting around 11:00 and continuing into the early evening. The number of stalls varies, but they tend to be more concentrated along the central stretch of Calle Real before the incline steepens toward Barribarto.
Most of the stalls focus on handmade items rather than everyday goods. You’ll see ceramics, jewellery, woven textiles, and small decorative pieces laid out on narrow tables or cloths positioned against the walls. The setup is compact, and in tighter sections of Calle Real, the walking space narrows enough that people naturally move single file for short stretches.
What stands out is how the stalls follow the slope of the village. Movement isn’t continuous from one end to the other. People stop in short sections, often where the street opens slightly or where a side street branches off, then continue upward. Around the midpoint of Calle Real, where several small lanes connect, it’s common to pause briefly before moving on.
As you climb higher toward Barribarto, the number of stalls usually decreases, and the streets become steeper and quieter. Most people don’t continue all the way up. They turn back after the central section, often retracing part of the route rather than completing a full loop.
There are no food stalls within this setup. Instead, activity overlaps with the cafés and small restaurants along Calle Real and just off it. Tables fill gradually through the afternoon, and people move between the stalls and these spaces rather than staying in one place.
The busiest point is usually between 13:00 and 16:00, particularly along the central stretch of Calle Real where the street is at its narrowest and the stalls are closest together. Earlier in the day, the layout is easier to walk, and it’s possible to move without stopping.
Frigiliana is known for its whitewashed streets and views toward the coast, and the stalls don’t change that structure. They sit within the main route through the village, following the same path people would take even without them.
If you plan to go here, it works best to start at the lower end of Calle Real around midday, walk upward through the central section where the stalls are most concentrated, and then decide where to turn back before the incline steepens. Trying to cover the entire upper part of the village isn’t necessary, as most of the activity stays in the middle stretch.
Mutriku’s small coastal market near the old harbour
Mutriku’s weekly market sits at the level of the old harbour rather than in the upper historic streets, and the difference in elevation shapes how you approach it. The town drops steeply toward the sea, and the market is set up in the flatter area close to the port, mainly around Calle Conde de Mutriku and the open space leading toward the harbour basin.
If you arrive by car, you’ll usually come in from the higher road above the town and park along the streets that overlook the harbour or in the small parking areas nearby. From there, you walk down toward the port, and the first stalls appear as the street levels out near the water. The shift is clear. You move from narrow, sloping streets into a more open, horizontal space by the harbour.
The market is usually held on Saturday mornings. By around 9:00, most vendors are set up, and by 9:30 the full layout is visible. There are only a handful of stalls, often fewer than ten, arranged loosely along the street and into the small open area facing the harbour.
Produce is the main focus. You’ll find fruit, vegetables, and simple local goods laid out in crates or on basic tables. Depending on the day, there may also be Basque products such as local cheeses, preserved items, or small quantities of fish, often displayed directly from coolers or vans rather than formal counters. The quantities are limited, and most purchases are for immediate use.
What stands out is how the market sits directly beside the harbour rather than forming its own space. People move between the stalls and the edge of the water, often pausing briefly along the harbour wall before continuing. The activity doesn’t extend into the upper town and remains contained within this lower section.
Movement is minimal and direct. Most people arrive, go to one stall, make a purchase, and leave. Very few walk the entire layout more than once, and there’s little browsing across multiple vendors.
There are no food stalls or places to sit within the market itself. Instead, the activity shifts outward almost immediately. A few cafés near the harbour begin to fill later in the morning, and you’ll see people leaving the market and stopping there rather than staying within the small cluster of stalls.
The busiest point is usually between 10:00 and 11:30, although even then the space remains open. Outside that window, it can feel almost empty, with only a few people passing through.
One detail that becomes noticeable is how exposed the area is compared to the upper town. Along the harbour, there’s less shelter, and the conditions (wind, light, and movement) feel different from the streets above. The market stays in that open space rather than moving into the more protected areas.
Mutriku doesn’t change significantly with the season, and the market reflects that. It follows the same small-scale routine each week, positioned by the harbour and used as a short stop rather than a destination.
If you plan to include it, it works best as a brief stop while passing along the coast. Arriving mid-morning gives you the full setup, but the visit itself is likely to be short.
Las Dalias midweek market in Sant Carles
Las Dalias is set just outside Sant Carles de Peralta in the northeast of Ibiza, away from the main coastal strips, and the midweek market takes place entirely within the enclosed grounds rather than along public streets. The layout is fixed inside the venue, with stalls arranged along shaded paths, garden areas, and small courtyards around the central building.
If you arrive by car, you’ll come in along the road between Santa Eulària and Sant Carles (PM-810), with the venue signposted before you reach the village. Parking is organised in designated areas just outside the entrance, and from there you walk straight into the market through the main gate. Unlike town markets, there’s no gradual entry. The structure is immediately visible once you’re inside.
The midweek market usually runs on Tuesday evenings during the summer months, starting in the late afternoon and continuing into the night. By around 18:00, most stalls are open, and by 19:30 the full layout is active. The setup is consistent from week to week, with many vendors occupying the same positions.
The stalls are concentrated along the main internal paths but extend into smaller garden sections behind them. The central routes near the entrance and the main courtyard fill first, while the narrower paths toward the back sections remain easier to walk, especially earlier in the evening.
Most stalls focus on handmade and curated goods (jewellery, clothing, textiles, and decorative items) displayed in more permanent setups than in weekly town markets. The density is higher than it appears at first. It’s easy to miss entire sections if you don’t move beyond the main paths.
What stands out is how people move through the space. Very few walk it in one continuous loop. Most enter, follow the main path, then branch off into smaller sections before returning to the central courtyard. It’s common to pass the same area more than once, especially around the entrance and the main bar area where several paths intersect.
There are dedicated food and seating areas within the venue, separate from the stalls. These are positioned around the central courtyard and along the outer sections, where people stop for longer periods. The rhythm is different from street markets. People stay, sit, and return to the stalls rather than moving through once.
The busiest period is usually between 20:00 and 22:30, particularly along the central paths near the entrance and the main courtyard, where movement slows and the space tightens. Earlier in the evening, it’s easier to see the full layout and move into the quieter sections toward the edges.
One detail that becomes clear is how contained the market is. Unlike town markets, it doesn’t connect to surrounding streets or extend into Sant Carles itself. Everything happens within the same enclosed space, and once you leave, the activity stops.
If you plan to include it, it works best to arrive shortly after opening, walk the outer paths and smaller sections first while they’re still open, and then move back toward the central courtyard later in the evening. Trying to start in the busiest areas usually means moving slowly and missing the quieter parts.
If you like Roman streets, open plazas and local markets without the crowds, Tarragona in the low season might surprise you.
How these markets actually work once you’re there
One detail that becomes clearer once you’ve seen a few of these markets is how predictable the entry point is, even when it isn’t marked. In Cehegín, most people come in from Avenida de la Libertad and only cover the stretch around Plaza del Alpargatero. In Xàbia, the movement centres around Plaza de la Constitución before spreading into Carrer Príncep d’Astúries and back again. In Frigiliana, the flow settles in the middle section of Calle Real, and very few continue past the steeper climb toward Barribarto.
This repeats even though the settings are different. In Mutriku, people stay close to the harbour edge and rarely move further into the town. In Santa Marina del Sil, the entire market sits within a few metres of the bridge, and most visits last only a few minutes. In Las Dalias, the same idea shows up in a different form, with people looping around the central courtyard and returning to the same points rather than moving through the whole space once.
Another detail that doesn’t show up in most guides is how early the structure settles. By around 10:00 in places like Xàbia or Cehegín, the layout is already fixed for the day, and what changes after that is the movement rather than what’s available. In Frigiliana, the same shift happens later. Once the central stretch of Calle Real fills, the quieter upper streets remain largely unchanged even as the main path slows.
If you plan around that instead of focusing on opening times, the markets become easier to include without adjusting your day too much. You don’t need to see everything or stay long. Enter from the same point most people use, follow a short section, and leave before the pace changes.
If you want even more recommendations (including markets that feel genuinely local, small-town food markets where you can browse without crowds, and artisan stalls that are still under the radar) we’ve put together a thoughtfully curated Market Guide that you can download. It’s packed with insider suggestions to help you skip the noise and go straight to the kind of markets that feel authentic, welcoming, and relaxed.

FAQs about summer markets in Spain
What are the best local markets in Spain to visit in summer?
Markets that sit outside the busiest streets tend to work best in summer. Cehegín (Gran Vía near Plaza del Alpargatero), Xàbia (around Plaza de la Constitución), Frigiliana (along Calle Real), Mutriku (by the harbour), and Las Dalias near Sant Carles all follow their usual layout even during peak season.
If your trip is shaped around markets, this guide to markets across Spain and France helps you build your route.
When is the best time to visit markets in Spain in summer?
For weekly markets, the most useful time is between 9:00 and 11:00. After that, movement slows and selection is reduced. In Frigiliana, stalls build from late morning into the afternoon. At Las Dalias, the market runs in the evening and becomes fully active after around 19:30.
Where are markets located in Spanish towns like Xàbia, Cehegín and Frigiliana?
In Xàbia, the market centres on Plaza de la Constitución and extends into Carrer Príncep d’Astúries. In Cehegín, it runs along Gran Vía around Plaza del Alpargatero. In Frigiliana, stalls follow Calle Real through the old town rather than forming a square.
Are Spanish markets crowded in summer?
The surrounding towns can be busy, but markets are often positioned slightly outside the main flow. Because of this, they tend to feel more consistent even during peak travel periods.
What can you buy at small-town markets in Spain?
Most weekly markets focus on clothing, shoes, and household goods, with smaller sections for produce. Depending on the region, you’ll also find olives, cheeses, preserves, and other local products, usually in limited quantities.
Are markets in Spain worth visiting in summer or should you skip them?
They are worth visiting if you include them as part of a route. These markets are usually short and practical rather than places to spend hours, and they work best when combined with walking through the town afterward.
How long should you spend at a market in Spain?
Most visits take between 20 and 45 minutes. Smaller markets like Mutriku or Santa Marina del Sil may take less, while larger ones like Xàbia take longer if you walk multiple streets.
Do locals still use these markets in summer?
Yes. In towns like Cehegín and Xàbia, most people arrive, buy one or two items, and leave within minutes. The routine stays the same regardless of season.
Are there food markets or street food stalls in these towns?
In most small-town markets, food stalls are limited. People usually leave the market and stop at cafés nearby. Las Dalias is an exception, with dedicated food areas inside the venue.
Do you need a car to visit these markets in Spain?
In most cases, yes. Cehegín and Frigiliana are easier to reach by car. Xàbia can be accessed by taxi or local transport, but the market is in the old town rather than near the coast.
Are markets in Spain open every day in summer?
Weekly markets run on fixed days, such as Thursday in Xàbia and Friday in Cehegín. Frigiliana’s craft stalls appear on Sundays, while Las Dalias operates on specific evenings during the week depending on the season.
