Singuerlín Market

The stalls cover everyday essentials: fresh fruit and vegetables, butchers, poultry, fishmongers, cheese and dairy, and bread and bakery goods. Friday's late closing until 8pm makes it the most practical day for anyone who works standard hours. Arrive early on Saturday mornings for the best pick of fresh fish and meat before the market closes at 3pm.

Santa Coloma de Gramenet is a compact city, so staying close to the Singuerlín area puts you right near the market without any fuss. Try Singuerlín for the most convenient base, or look at options in Centre if you want easy access to the rest of the city too.

Barcelona is also just a short metro ride away, so if you prefer a wider choice of accommodation, staying on the city's northeastern side works well and keeps the commute to Singuerlín short and simple.

The market is at Passatge d'En Salvatella, 53. The easiest way to get there is by metro: take Line L9 Nord to Singuerlín station and use the Passatge de Salvatella exit — it's about a two-minute walk to the market entrance. It's one of three municipal markets in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, alongside Mercat del Fondo and Mercat de Sagarra. Street parking in the area is limited, so the metro is the better choice.
