Tips for visiting
Get there before 10am. The markets open at 7am and the produce stalls are picked over long before the 2pm close, especially on a Saturday with four trading at once. Bring cash, since many stalls at the smaller markets do not take cards. All five set up in open squares and along pavements, with no shelter from rain or sun. Both market types are listed together on the Mataró markets hub.
Where to stay in Mataró
Stay central. The markets open at 7am and the four Saturday ones sit in separate neighbourhoods, so walking out at first light matters more than anything else. City Centre puts you within walking distance of the main markets and the seafront, and Hotel Colón Mataró is a comfortable base for exploring on foot. A car is not needed, and Saturday parking is the harder problem.
