Maresme Market

Maresme Market runs every Sunday from 9am to 2pm at Avinguda Beniamino Farina 135 in Vilassar de Mar, Barcelona province. Known in Catalan as Mercat del Maresme, it sets up outdoors on the grounds of the Mercat de Flor i Planta Ornamental, and that setting shows in the stalls: flowering and ornamental plants sit alongside the fruit and vegetable pitches. See the town's other street markets in Vilassar de Mar if Sunday doesn't suit.

What you'll find at Maresme Market

Five things dominate the pitches: fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, flowers and plants, organic products and handicrafts. The plant stalls are the reason to come rather than an afterthought, given where the market sets up, and they run from cut flowers to potted greenery for a garden or balcony. The organic growers sit among the general produce traders rather than in a separate section. Everything packs away by 2pm, so the fruit and vegetable stalls are picked over well before then.
