What you'll find
Fresh fruit and vegetables are the backbone of the Sunday market, sold alongside bread, meat, olive oil and organic produce. The other days lean towards non-food: clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, flowers and plants, handicrafts and antiques. Because each market sets up on its own day rather than sharing one, what is on sale changes noticeably depending on which morning you come.

Tips for visiting
Get there by 9am, when trading starts, if you want the produce stalls at their fullest. Carry cash, since card acceptance varies from one stall to the next. Stalls begin packing up before the 2pm close, so a late-morning visit is the safe end of the window rather than early afternoon.
Where to stay in Vilassar de Mar
All four markets set up inside the town rather than on its outskirts, so a room in the town centre or along the beachfront leaves you a walk from the Sunday fruit and vegetable market rather than a drive. Trading runs 9am to 2pm across the week, so an early breakfast matters more than a car does. Rooms on the coast fill through the summer, so book ahead if you are planning a Sunday.
