Markets in Blanes
Girona, Catalonia
Blanes market visitors have four weekly open-air options to choose from, ranging from the large Monday market near the town centre to smaller weekend markets along Avinguda Catalunya. All four are outdoor street markets selling a mix of fresh produce, clothing, footwear and crafts, with no covered municipal market in the town. Blanes sits at the southern end of the Girona coast, making it a practical base for exploring markets across this part of Catalonia.

Tours & Activities in Blanes
Market days in Blanes
Markets run across four days of the week: Monday for the largest market, a weekly fruit and vegetable market, Saturday and the first and third Sunday of each month for La Ganga. If you are planning a short stay, Monday gives access to the widest range of products and the highest number of stalls. The official Blanes tourism site lists seasonal fairs that supplement the regular weekly schedule.
Street markets in Blanes
The Blanes Monday Market is the largest market in town, with 159 stalls selling clothing, footwear, handicrafts, fresh fruit and vegetables. It runs every Monday and draws visitors from across the surrounding area, so arriving before midmorning gives you the best pick of produce and avoids the busiest crowds.
The Blanes Fruit and Vegetable Market is the most focused of the four, with 33 stalls dedicated to fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, flowers and plants. It runs weekly and is worth a visit if you are self-catering or want seasonal local produce rather than general market goods.
The Saturday Weekly Market of Blanes sets up with 25 stalls each week, covering clothing, footwear, handicrafts and books. La Ganga Market follows a different rhythm, running on the first and third Sunday of each month with 25 stalls selling clothing, footwear, handicrafts and jewellery along the same stretch of Avinguda Catalunya.
