Markets in Santa Susanna

Santa Susanna is a small beach resort, and staying near the seafront keeps you a short walk from the market sites. The Town Centre puts you closest to the weekday markets and the everyday shops.

If you prefer a more organised base, Beachfront Area offers plenty of hotels and apartments, which works well when the markets do not open until the evening.

Every market in the town is a street market, so there is nothing here that trades under a permanent roof six days a week. The largest sets out 40 stalls and leans towards clothing, footwear, handicrafts and jewellery. The others are smaller and more specialised: one deals in antiques, books and magazines from a covered site, and one is the only one in town with a real food offer, covering fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese and dairy, bread and bakery and organic produce.

Because the stock is divided between the five rather than repeated across them, it is worth checking which one falls on the day you are in town before making the walk. Markets across Barcelona province covers the rest of the Maresme coast and the towns inland.

Tuesday is the busiest day, with two of the five markets trading. Friday, Saturday and Sunday also carry two apiece, while Monday, Wednesday and Thursday drop to one market each, Thursday being the quietest of the week.
