Municipal Markets in Vilanova i la Geltrú
Barcelona, Catalonia · 3 municipal markets

What you'll find
The counters in the three halls cover fish and seafood, meat and poultry, fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese and dairy, bread and bakery goods, and prepared foods you can take away. This is where the city buys its food, so the mix is groceries rather than the clothes, shoes and household goods sold at the weekly street markets.

When to go
Any morning from Monday to Saturday works, since all three halls trade six days a week and keep the same broad hours of 9am to about 2pm. Sunday is the one day with nothing open, so a weekend visit means Saturday morning.
Where to stay in Vilanova i la Geltrú
Staying central puts you within a short walk of all three halls, which matters when they shut at about 2pm and you want to shop before the day gets away from you. Town Centre has the widest choice of rooms and is the easiest base for a morning at the markets. For sea views, look along the Passeig Marítim, where Hotel Ceferino sits between the beach and the centre.

Are the municipal markets in Vilanova i la Geltrú open on Sunday?
