What you'll find
Produce carries the weekdays. The farmers market runs Monday to Saturday from a dozen stalls next to the Mercat del Centre, selling fruit, vegetables and organic growers' produce. Friday doubles up, with fish, cheese and bread at the Friday Market of Mar and clothing, footwear, handicrafts and books at the bigger market further along Rambla de la Pau. Sunday belongs to the collectors, when 15 antiques stalls bring out old books, jewellery and second-hand pieces from 9am.

Planning a visit
Come in the first couple of hours, since every weekly market here shuts at 2pm and the produce stalls thin out before that. Carry cash for the Friday market on Rambla de la Pau, which takes nothing else, though the Saturday, Sunday and Mar markets all accept cards and contactless. One market breaks the pattern: the Easter craft market on Passeig del Carme runs Thursday to Sunday, 10am to 9pm, and only in March and April.
Where to stay in Vilanova i la Geltrú
Every street market in the town sets up in the centre, between Plaça Soler i Carbonell and Rambla de la Pau, so a central base means you can walk to all of them and skip the car. Town Centre puts you closest to the Friday and Saturday stalls and to an 8am start. If you would rather be near the beach, Hotel Cèsar sits closer to the seafront and still leaves the markets within reach on foot.
