What you'll find
The food is concentrated on Saturday. Mercat de la Terra fills Plaça de Catalunya from 8.30am with 25 stalls of fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, bread and organic produce, and a smaller eight-stall weekly market shares the same square from 7am with fruit, vegetables, olive oil and nuts. The rest of the week the emphasis shifts to clothing, footwear, jewellery and handicrafts. Sitges also has an indoor municipal market on Avinguda d'Artur Carbonell, and all markets in Sitges lists both types on one page.

Tips for visiting
Get there before 10am and you have the full run of stalls before the 2pm close. Bring cash: only Mercat de la Terra lists cards and contactless, while the Thursday market takes cash or mobile payment. Both Plaça de Catalunya markets and the Thursday market are wheelchair accessible. Sunday is the exception to everything else here, with the Mediterrani Market at Port d'Aiguadolç opening at midday and running to 6pm. The town hall publishes its own list of markets and fairs.
Where to stay in Sitges
Base yourself in the old town or on the seafront if the markets are the point of the trip. Plaça de Catalunya takes both Saturday markets, Passeig de Vilafranca hosts the Thursday one a few streets away, and the craft market is on the Passeig Marítim, so all of them are walkable from a central room and no car is needed. The Sunday market out at Port d'Aiguadolç is the one that argues for a taxi. Staying close in also makes the 7am Saturday start realistic.
