Where to stay in Vilassar de Mar
Vilassar de Mar is a small coastal town, so your best bet is staying close to the seafront or the old town centre, where you can easily walk to the weekly market and local shops. Try Town Centre or look for accommodation along the beachfront for a relaxed base.
If you prefer more options nearby, the towns of Mataró and Premià de Mar are just a short train ride away and have a wider choice of hotels, making them a practical alternative for exploring Vilassar de Mar on a day trip.

Municipal markets in Vilassar de Mar
The Catalonia Ornamental Flower and Plant Market is the town's most distinctive market and one of the most important wholesale flower and ornamental plant markets in southern Europe. It operates indoors year-round and stocks cut flowers, potted plants, and fresh fruit and vegetables alongside the horticultural trade. The market is primarily professional, but visitors can find details about access and tours on the market's official site.
Street markets in Vilassar de Mar
The Vilassar de Mar Fruit and Vegetable Market is the largest street market in town, with 25 stalls running weekly outdoors. Shoppers come for fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, bread and pastries, and local olive oil, making it a practical weekly shop rather than a tourist market.
The Vilassar de Mar Street Market also runs weekly with 25 stalls and focuses on clothing, footwear, and handicrafts. It draws a more general crowd and is a good option if you are combining a market visit with a walk along the Maresme seafront.
The Maresme Market is a weekly outdoor market with a mixed offer of fresh fruit and vegetables, flowers and plants, organic produce, and handicrafts, making it one of the more varied street markets in town. Rounding out the street offering, the Fira de Mar runs weekly outdoors with antiques and handicrafts, and suits anyone looking for something more curio-focused.
Vilassar de Mar sits between Premià de Mar and Mataró along the Maresme coast, and it is easy to combine a market visit here with stops at either town. For the full picture of what is available across the province, see the Barcelona markets page.
