A neighbourhood indoor market with 25 stalls in El Prat de Llobregat, open Tuesday to Saturday. Friday hours extend to 8pm for working shoppers.
Plaça Blanes Market is an indoor municipal market at Carrer de Cadaqués, 2 in El Prat de Llobregat, a town on the Llobregat Delta just south of Barcelona. Its 25 stalls run Tuesday to Saturday from 8am to 2pm, with Friday hours extended to 8pm. It's a straightforward neighbourhood food market where locals pick up fresh produce from the surrounding Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat farmland, including El Prat's celebrated Pota Blava chicken and the local artichoke, both of which carry Protected Geographical Indication status.
What to buy
You'll find all the essentials here: fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese, dairy, and bread. The standout is Pota Blava (Blue Foot chicken), a heritage breed raised in the Parc Agrari fields on the edge of town and sold at the meat stalls. Prat artichokes appear seasonally at the produce stands and are worth grabbing when in season.
