Bufalà Market

Bufalà Market is a covered municipal market on Avinguda Bufalà in the northern part of Badalona, the coastal city next to Barcelona. Its 25 stalls make it one of Badalona's four municipal markets.

What to buy at Bufalà Market

The stalls cover fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and bread and bakery. It is a shopping list rather than a day out: this is where the Bufalà neighbourhood buys dinner. Cash, cards and mobile payments are all accepted, so you don't need to plan around an ATM.

How to get to Bufalà Market

The market is at Avinguda Bufalà, 48, 08915, on one of the neighbourhood's main avenues in northern Badalona. Local buses connect the district to central Badalona and the wider Barcelona area, and there is street parking nearby for those driving. The hall is wheelchair accessible.

Where to stay in Badalona

If you'd prefer somewhere with a beachfront feel, look for options along Badalona Seafront, where you can enjoy the coast and still reach the market on foot or by a short bus ride.
