Market days in Girona
Saturday is the day to plan around, with eight of the 14 markets trading. Wednesday and Thursday carry four each, Friday two, and Monday, Tuesday and Sunday one apiece. The usual hours are 9am to 2pm, so an early start is worth it. For market days in the wider area, see the province page.
Municipal markets in Girona
The three covered halls are the year-round half of the city's market scene, and signage in Girona is Catalan, so you will see them called a mercat rather than a mercado. Lleó Market is the largest with around 45 stalls, selling fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, seafood and Empordà cheeses, and it is where a good number of the city's restaurants do their daily shopping. The other two are neighbourhood halls on a smaller scale, one leaning towards flowers, plants and clothing, the other covering produce, meat, fish and bakery goods. Opening days and stall counts for all three are on the page for municipal markets in this city.
Street markets in Girona
Eleven weekly markets trade outdoors across Girona and its edges, and they are where the specialist trade sits. The largest is the Ribes del Ter market in Devesa park, with about 35 stalls of fresh produce and clothing. A 25-stall flea market runs the same day for antiques, second-hand books, jewellery, clothing and footwear, and separate smaller markets deal in organic produce, artisan food, handicrafts, collectibles and flowers. The full list, with days and locations, is on the page for street markets in this city. You can check official schedules and seasonal changes on the Girona City Council tourism page.
