The Santa Eulària Town Hall has begun the installation of the first 12 dismountable stalls of the 21 that will be available at the s’Alamera street market. This project, financed with European Next Generation funds, is part of the commercial revitalization plan for the creation of an Open Commercial Center in the town. The initiative seeks to improve the working conditions of vendors and offer a more attractive and functional experience for both residents and visitors.
Facility improvements and sustainability
The new reinforced wooden booths, designed to withstand adverse weather conditions, include three openable fronts that optimize product display and facilitate customer service. In addition, they are equipped with folding ramps to ensure accessibility and photovoltaic panels with batteries to power LED lights and interior sockets. These features allow their use in different seasons of the year, expanding the possibilities for events such as Christmas markets. With dimensions of 2.30 by 2.70 meters and a height of 2.5 meters, the booths not only improve functionality, but also contribute to a homogeneous and quality image in the pedestrian artery of s’Alamera. The total investment for this renovation amounts to 231,231 euros, awarded to the company Eco Wc.
Cultural heritage and local economy
S’Alamera market has a deep link with the history and culture of Santa Eulària, known as the cradle of the hippie movement in Ibiza. This market, along with those of Punta Arabí and Las Dalias, represents part of the local identity, offering quality products that attract both tourists and residents. The installation of these stalls is part of a broader effort to revitalize the center of Santa Eulària as a key point of economic and social activity. According to the City Council, the creation of the Open Commercial Center seeks to integrate emblematic spaces such as Isidor Macabich square and the market to promote trade, employment and the social fabric of the town.
A step towards modernization
The proposal also includes the possibility of extending the market’s activity beyond the tourist season, adapting it to different events and needs of the municipality. This development not only facilitates the work of the artisans, who will no longer have to dismantle their stalls on a daily basis, but also ensures a more comfortable and pleasant experience for visitors.
