Premià de Mar Weekly Market

Premià de Mar Weekly Market sets up every Thursday along Riera de Premià, the wide dry riverbed that runs inland from the seafront in this Maresme coastal town. Seventy stalls stretch from Carrer Jacint Verdaguer up to the Camí del Mig, selling fruit and vegetables, cheese, bread, meat, clothing and footwear. It opens at 8am and is packed away by 2pm, so this is a morning trip. See also all markets in Premià de Mar and the town's other street markets.

About Premià de Mar Weekly Market

This is the town's open-air weekly market, running down the riera itself rather than under a roof, so it takes the weather as it comes. Seventy stalls is a good size for a Maresme town of this scale, and the Thursday morning slot makes it a locals' shopping run rather than a weekend outing.

What you'll find at Premià de Mar Weekly Market

Fruit and vegetable stalls make up the core of the market, alongside cheese and dairy, bread and bakery stalls and meat and poultry counters, enough to put together a full week's food shop without leaving the riera. The rest of the run sells clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, and a smaller number of handicraft stalls.

How to get to Premià de Mar Weekly Market

The market occupies Riera de Premià between Carrer Jacint Verdaguer and the Camí del Mig, a walk of a few minutes uphill from Premià de Mar station on the R1 coastal line, which runs along the shore from Barcelona Sants and Plaça Catalunya. The station sits between the beach and the town centre. The market is listed on the town council's official page.

Where to stay in Premià de Mar

Premià de Mar is a small coastal town, so your best bet is to stay close to the seafront or the town centre, both within walking distance of the riera. Try Town Centre for convenience, or Seafront if you want a beach view to round off your visit. Mataró, a short train ride up the coast, has more choice if the town is full.

What day is Premià de Mar Weekly Market?
