Markets in Viladecans

Viladecans is a compact town, so staying near the Town Centre puts every one of the seven markets within walking or short bus distance. For a wider choice of rooms, El Prat de Llobregat is close by and well connected by public transport.

Basing yourself in Barcelona also works, since the markets keep morning hours and a short commuter train ride gets you here in time for the 09:00 opening.

The three street markets work differently, setting up on their own days rather than trading through the week, so check the day before you travel. The biggest is the Viladecans Medieval Market, which brings around 100 stalls to the town, four times the size of the largest hall.

Across the town's markets the mix runs well beyond food: clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, jewellery, handicrafts, and flowers and plants sit alongside the fruit and vegetable, meat, fish, cheese, bread and honey stalls.

The four municipal markets are the backbone of food shopping here. The largest is Can Xic Farmers Market, with 25 stalls, and like most halls in Catalonia they keep morning hours, commonly 09:00 to 14:00, so an early start gets you the fish and the bread before the counters thin out. Between them the halls cover Monday to Saturday, and Sunday is the exception.

Wednesday and Friday are the busiest days, with five of the seven markets trading on each. Saturday is next with four, and Monday, Tuesday and Thursday each have three. Sunday is the quietest by a wide margin, with a single market open, so midweek is the efficient time to visit if you want to see more than one market in a morning.

The largest hall is Can Xic Farmers Market with 25 stalls, and the largest street market is the Viladecans Medieval Market with around 100.
