Sant Boi Farmers Market

The Catalan name, Mercat de Pagès de Sant Boi de Llobregat, means farmers' market, and that is exactly what it is: growers selling their own produce rather than resellers. It is organised in connection with the Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat, the belt of working farmland that surrounds the town on the river plain. Eleven stalls is one lap rather than a morning, and arriving before lunch means finding an empty rambla.

Seasonal fruit and vegetables from local growers fill most of the eleven stalls, with organic produce alongside. What is on the tables shifts with the Baix Llobregat growing season, so the selection changes from one month to the next rather than holding a fixed line-up.

The stalls set up outdoors along the rambla with no indoor hall, so dress for the weather and carry cash.

Staying in Sant Boi de Llobregat city centre puts you within walking distance of Rambla Rafael Casanova, useful if you want to shop at the end of the afternoon and not carry produce far. For a base right by the town's cafés and shops, look at accommodation around Plaça de la Vila, a few minutes from the market.

The stalls run along Rambla Rafael Casanova, 08830 Sant Boi de Llobregat, the town's tree-lined main promenade and an easy walk from the centre. Details on the growers behind the market are on the Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat site. For other options in town, see street markets in Sant Boi de Llobregat and the town's municipal markets.
