Where to stay in Castelló d'Empúries
Staying in the Old Town puts you within easy walking distance of Plaça Joan Alsina and the medieval streets around the basilica, which makes a Tuesday morning market run a short walk rather than a drive.
If you prefer more amenities, try Empuriabrava, especially if you're travelling with family or staying for a few days. It has its own market and is a short drive from the old town.

Street markets in Castelló d'Empúries
The town has no covered municipal market, so everything here is weekly and open-air. Plaça Joan Alsina carries the biggest of the three on a Tuesday morning, and it is the one to plan around if you want produce, pastries, flowers and clothing in a single stop. Stalls are at their fullest before 11am.
The other two split by interest and by location. One is given over to organic and locally sourced goods, with fruit and vegetables, cheese and dairy and bread alongside the organic produce itself. The other serves the marina at Empuriabrava and leans towards fresh food, meat and poultry, fish and seafood among it. Days, hours and stall counts for all three are on the street market listings for Castelló d'Empúries.
