San Roque Municipal Market

Opening hours start at 7am Monday to Saturday, and the hall is closed on Sunday. Monday to Thursday it closes at 2pm, Friday it runs through to 7pm, and Saturday it stops at 2:30pm.

Fifteen stalls trade under one roof, so this is a shop you can do in the rain. The market is wheelchair accessible, and the stalls take cash, cards, contactless and mobile payments.

The counters cover the full weekly food shop: fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, and bread and bakery goods. Across 15 stalls that is a shopping trip rather than a meal out: no bar or tapas counter is listed among the hall's facilities.

Badalona sits right next to Barcelona, so staying in the City Centre keeps you close to the San Roque Municipal Market while giving you easy metro access to the capital. The Waterfront is another solid option if you want to be near the beach and can still reach the market on foot or by a short ride.

If you prefer a specific hotel, Hotel Roc Badalona is a reliable choice with a good location for exploring the city, and there are further rooms around Sant Roc, where much of the everyday shopping and street life happens.

The market sits on Avinguda del Congrés Eucarístic in Badalona. From Barcelona, take the R1 train line to Badalona station, then walk or catch a local bus to the market. The trip from central Barcelona takes 30 to 40 minutes by public transport.

Coming in from elsewhere in Barcelona province, plan around the closing time, not the opening one: Friday is the only day the counters run past mid-afternoon. Badalona's street markets keep their own days.
