Sant Pol de Mar Farmers Market

Sant Pol de Mar Farmers Market runs every Saturday from 9am to 1:30pm in this Maresme coastal town north of Barcelona. Known locally as the Mercat de Pagès, it is a producers' market rather than a general street market: the stalls are growers selling fruit and vegetables, cheese and dairy, bread and organic goods. It is one of the markets in Sant Pol de Mar, and is listed with the town's other street markets.

What you'll find at Sant Pol de Mar Farmers Market

Fresh fruit and vegetables make up most of the stalls, and what is on them changes with the season rather than with a supplier's catalogue. Cheese and dairy and bread and bakery goods fill out the rest, and organic producers are part of the regular line-up. There is no clothing, no household goods and no bric-a-brac here, which is what separates a Mercat de Pagès from the larger weekly street markets elsewhere on the Maresme coast.

How to get to Sant Pol de Mar Farmers Market

The market sets up in Sant Pol de Mar town centre, and the whole town is small enough to cross on foot in a few minutes, so anywhere central puts you within walking distance of the stalls. The market is outdoors, so a wet Saturday is worth checking ahead for. The town hall's official page carries any closure or date change this page cannot promise to hold, and the Barcelona province page covers what else is running nearby that weekend.
