Where to stay in Alcanar
Alcanar is a small town, so your best bet is to stay close to the centre where you can walk to the market easily. Town Centre puts you right in the heart of things, with local restaurants and cafes close by.
If you prefer a bit more comfort or can't find availability in town, the nearby coastal area of Les Cases d'Alcanar is worth considering. Les Cases d'Alcanar is just a short drive away and has more accommodation options, especially in summer.

Street markets in Alcanar
The Alcanar Organic Market is the more specialised of the two, focusing on organic produce, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and cheese and dairy. If you are looking for certified or eco-friendly products, this is the market to prioritise during your visit to the Tarragona province.
The Alcanar Weekly Market has the broader range of goods, adding meat and poultry and clothing to the usual selection of fresh fruit, vegetables, and cheese and dairy. It is a good general-purpose market for stocking up before a longer stay in the area. Nearby towns such as Amposta and Tortosa also hold regular markets if you want to combine visits across the region.
Planning Your Visit
Both markets are held outdoors, so checking local weather before you go is worthwhile, particularly outside the summer months. Alcanar's position in the southern Tarragona coast means mild conditions for much of the year. For official local information, the Ajuntament d'Alcanar publishes updates on town events and market schedules.
