Market days in Tordera
Sunday is the busiest day, with two of the three markets trading. Thursday and Saturday carry one each, and no market here trades Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday. Every one of the three has a confirmed day, so there is nothing here that runs on an unpredictable schedule.
Hours are consistent across the town: 9am to 2pm is the usual window, so a market visit is a morning job here, and anything you want from a produce or bakery stall is best picked up well before the 2pm close.
Street markets in Tordera
Every market in Tordera is a street market, so shopping here means an outdoor or open-sided pitch rather than a covered hall. The largest of the regular weekly markets runs to around 40 stalls, weighted towards fruit and vegetables, bread, clothing and flowers, and the smallest is a nine-stall neighbourhood market in Sant Pere that covers produce, plants and clothing for the streets around it.
Once a year the town's biggest market by some distance is the Palm Sunday fair, which brings roughly 100 stalls out and shifts the balance towards handicrafts and prepared foods alongside the usual produce and flowers. It is the one date worth planning a trip around rather than fitting into one. The full list, with days, stall counts and locations, is on the street markets in Tordera page.
