5 markets tracked in Castelldefels.
Markets in Castelldefels are all street markets, five of them, in a coastal town on the Baix Llobregat south of Barcelona. None of them is a covered municipal hall, so the trading happens outdoors on a weekly rhythm, and almost all of it between 9am and 2pm. The town sits within Barcelona province, whose markets keep to much the same morning pattern.

Staying close to the beach puts you in a great spot for exploring Castelldefels, and Passeig Marítim has plenty of hotels within easy reach of the town centre and its markets. For something comfortable and well-located, Hotel Kingston is a reliable choice that keeps you close to where you need to be.

The largest is the Castelldefels Sea Market, with 100 stalls, a big market by the standards of a town this size. Between all five you'll find fresh fruit and vegetables, organic produce, prepared foods, clothing, footwear and leather, flowers and plants, jewellery, handicrafts, and second-hand books.
That range is wider than a single weekly mercat usually manages, because the town spreads its trading across markets with different jobs to do: one built around locally grown and certified organic food, another around reuse and second-hand goods, the rest on everyday clothing, household and produce shopping.
Runs every Saturday from 10am to 2pm in Plaza de la Iglesia. A second-hand market focused on sustainable shopping with clothing, books, and handicrafts.

Saturday is the day to plan around. Four of the five markets trade then, more than twice what any other day offers, and it is the only morning you can see most of the town's trading in one go. Sunday is next with two. Midweek is quiet: one market on Wednesday, one on Friday, and nothing on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday. Hours are consistent, 9am to 2pm, so a market morning fits comfortably before lunch and the beach.
Saturday is the main market day in Castelldefels, with four of the town's five street markets trading. Sunday follows with two, and one market each runs on Wednesday and Friday. Nothing trades on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday, so a weekend morning gives you by far the widest choice.

Yes, two of the five street markets in Castelldefels trade on Sunday. That is second only to Saturday, when four of them run, and it is more than any midweek day manages. Sunday stalls keep the same 9am to 2pm hours as the rest of the week, so go in the morning.
