About Mercat Municipal de Sant Salvador
The market opened in 1983 and was comprehensively renovated in 2001, when its current layout of food stalls alongside a self-service supermarket was established. A further renovation in 2014 brought additional modernisation. It is one of two municipal markets in Vilafranca del Penedès, with each serving a different part of town. On Tuesday mornings, a non-sedentary market also sets up in the same space, adding further variety to the weekly offer.
What to buy at Mercat Municipal de Sant Salvador
The stalls cover the full range of daily fresh food: seasonal fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, and freshly baked bread. Everything you need for daily cooking is under one roof.

Where to stay in Vilafranca del Penedès
Staying in Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of Sant Salvador Market and the main squares. The Hotel Domo is a solid, central option that makes it simple to reach the market on foot without any fuss.
If you prefer something with a bit more character, the wine country setting means several smaller hotels and rural stays sit just outside town. Hotel Can Bonastre Wine Resort is a popular choice for those who want comfort close to the Penedès wine region while still being a short drive from the market.
