Cuba Square Market
A covered indoor municipal market in central Mataró with 25 stalls. Open Tuesday to Saturday, including evening sessions on weekdays.
Cuba Square Market (Mercado de la Plaza de Cuba) is a covered indoor municipal market at Plaça de Cuba, 47 in Mataró, with 25 stalls selling fresh food across five days a week. Tuesday to Thursday the market opens from 8am to 2pm and again from 5pm to 8pm; Friday stays open continuously until 8:30pm; Saturday runs from 7am to 2:30pm. It's one of four municipal markets in Mataró and the largest in the city.
History and architecture
The market traces its roots to the late 19th century, when it operated as a temporary open-air market during Mataró's urban expansion. The current building opened on 11 April 1936, designed by local architect Lluís Gallifa Grezner. A full renovation in 2010 updated the facilities while preserving the building's original architectural character.
What to buy
The 25 stalls cover all the everyday staples: fresh vegetables, fruit, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, and bread. Beyond the produce, the market runs a kitchen classroom for live cooking demonstrations and a dedicated space for wine and beer tastings. Free parking is available directly at the market, making it easy to do a full weekly shop. You can browse participating stalls and order for pickup or delivery through the official market website.
