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.

Staying in Badalona Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the Gorg Market and the seafront, with a good mix of hotels and apartments to choose from. The Hotel Miramar Badalona is a solid option if you want somewhere comfortable close to the action.

If you prefer to base yourself in Barcelona and make a short trip out, Poblenou is just a few metro stops away and has plenty of accommodation at reasonable prices.

The market fills Plaça dels Països Catalans, 08912 Badalona, the square in the Gorg neighbourhood that gives the market its name. Everything trades outdoors, with no indoor hall to retreat into, so the weather on a Tuesday morning is worth checking before you set out.
