Where to stay in Argentona
Argentona is a small town, so your best bet is to stay in Town Centre, where you'll be within easy walking distance of the market and the main square. A handful of rural hotels and guesthouses sit just outside the centre if you prefer a quieter base.
If you'd rather have more options, Mataró is just a few kilometres away and well connected by road, making it a practical alternative with a broader choice of accommodation.
Tours & Activities in Argentona
Municipal markets in Argentona
The Argentona Municipal Market is a small indoor hall with around 10 stalls, open weekly on Friday mornings. Despite its compact size, it covers a solid range of everyday produce: fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy. It sits on Plaça de Vendre in the centre of town and is a practical first stop for fresh food before the weekend.
Street markets in Argentona
The Argentona Weekly Market is the largest of the three street markets, with around 50 stalls set up outdoors every week. Its offer leans toward non-food goods, including clothing and footwear, alongside fresh fruit and vegetables, making it a good option if you need to combine a grocery run with everyday shopping.
The Argentona Second-Hand Market runs weekly outdoors and attracts locals looking for pre-owned items. Stall numbers are not fixed, so the size can vary week to week. The Argentona Veïnat del Cros Market also runs weekly, serving the Cros neighbourhood on the outskirts of town.
If you are exploring the Maresme coast, Vilassar de Mar and Cabrera de Mar both have additional market options worth combining with a visit to Argentona. For a broader overview of what is available across the province, see the Barcelona markets page.
