What you'll find
Fourteen product categories are on sale across the four markets, so what you can buy changes with the day you come. The food stalls carry fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, bread, cheese and dairy, spices and herbs, prepared foods, organic produce and Penedès wine. The general stalls sell clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, and jewellery. Antiques and handicrafts are the Sunday specialism rather than an everyday sight.

Tips for visiting
Come in the morning: 9am to 2pm is the usual pattern here, and the fresh stalls thin out well before the closing hour. Tuesday gives you the most to walk through, with the 60-stall Pelegrina street market running alongside the weekday vegetable market. Sunday is the quietest trading day, with the craft and antiques market on its own. Bring cash, since card acceptance varies from one stall to the next.
Where to stay in Vilafranca del Penedès
Stay in the town centre and you can walk to every one of the four markets before they open at 9am, which matters more than it sounds when the produce stalls are picked over by late morning. Hotel Domo sits close to the main market area and is a reliable base. You do not need a car for the markets themselves, though one helps if you are pairing the trip with the wine estates around the town.
