Where to stay in Canet de Mar
Canet de Mar is small enough to walk end to end, so anywhere central puts the markets within reach. Town Centre is the most practical base, with the markets, beach and transport links all a short walk away.
If you prefer a more comfortable stay, Seafront has a handful of hotels and apartments that work well for a night or two. The town is on the coastal train line, so staying in Barcelona and coming out for the morning also works.

Municipal markets in Canet de Mar
The town has one municipal market, the Canet de Mar Farmers Market, which runs on Saturday mornings on Riera Gavarra. It is small, around five stalls under cover, and the produce comes from growers across the Maresme and Vallès: fruit, vegetables, organic lines, honey and olive oil. Cash, contactless and mobile payment are all accepted. More local event information is available on the Canet de Mar tourism website.
Street markets in Canet de Mar
Four of the five street markets here set up outdoors, and the biggest by a wide margin is the Canet de Mar Weekly Market at 59 stalls. That one is the practical shop: fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, bread and pastries, alongside the clothing and footwear rails that fill out most Catalan weekly markets. It runs whatever the season, so mornings are the sensible time to go.
The other three are specialists rather than general markets. One is given over to certified organic produce, cheese and dairy; the second to handicrafts, flowers and plants and prepared food; the third is a market fair tied to the town's Domènech i Montaner architecture, again handicrafts and things to eat on the spot rather than a weekly shop.
Planning a market visit in Canet de Mar
Every market here runs weekly, so two or three can be combined in a single day in town. For market days in neighbouring towns, the markets in Barcelona Province page covers the wider area, and nearby Arenys de Mar and Malgrat de Mar hold regular markets of their own.
