Markets in Vilassar de Mar

Vilassar de Mar is small enough to walk end to end, so the old town centre puts you a few minutes from both the street market pitches and the seafront. Try Town Centre or look for accommodation along the beachfront for a relaxed base. Mataró and Premià de Mar are a short train ride up the coast if you want a wider choice of hotels.

Four street markets set up in Vilassar de Mar, all of them weekly and all outdoors. The largest is the Vilassar de Mar Fruit and Vegetable Market with 25 stalls, and across the four you'll find fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, bread and bakery, local olive oil, organic produce, clothing and textiles, footwear, handicrafts, flowers and antiques. Some are a practical weekly shop, others are closer to a browse.

The Catalonia Ornamental Flower and Plant Market is the town's single municipal market and one of the most important wholesale flower and ornamental plant markets in southern Europe. It trades indoors year-round in cut flowers, potted plants and fresh fruit and vegetables. The floor is primarily professional, so check access and tour arrangements on the market's official site before turning up.

Wednesday is the busiest day, with two of the town's markets trading, and Sunday also has two. Monday, Thursday and Friday carry one each, and nothing sets up on a Tuesday or a Saturday. Usual hours are 8am to 1pm, so a market here is a morning errand rather than an afternoon outing.

Vilassar de Mar sits between Premià de Mar and Mataró on the Maresme coast, and the Barcelona markets page shows what else is trading nearby on the same day.
