Badalona Gorg Market

Badalona Gorg Market, known locally as Mercadillo del Gorg, runs every Tuesday from 8am to 1pm at Plaça dels Països Catalans.

It is one of the street markets in Badalona, and there are more markets across the city on other days of the week.

What you'll find at Badalona Gorg Market

The 30 stalls split between food and everyday goods. Fresh fruit is the produce side of it, sold from trestles that are set up by 8am and cleared by 1pm.

Clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods fill the rest of the square: everyday wear, shoes, bags and belts. There is no fish or meat listed for this market, so treat it as a general market with a fruit corner rather than a food shop.
