Markets in Empuriabrava
Girona, Catalonia
The Empuriabrava market scene centres on a single outdoor street market that draws visitors looking for an evening browse rather than a morning shop. The Empuriabrava Night Market runs weekly and covers clothing, handicrafts and prepared foods, making it a practical stop whether you want to pick up a souvenir or grab something to eat. Empuriabrava sits within the Alt Empordà comarca of Girona province, and neighbouring towns such as Roses and Castelló d'Empúries also have markets worth combining into a wider visit.

Where to stay in Empuriabrava
Staying near the marina puts you right in the heart of things, and Marina is your best base for reaching the markets on foot. The canals make it easy to get around, and you'll find plenty of apartments and small hotels close to where the action is.
If you prefer somewhere a little quieter, look at options along Avenida de Rhode, which keeps you within easy reach of the main market areas without being in the thick of the crowds.

Street markets in Empuriabrava
The Empuriabrava Night Market is the town's only street market, held outdoors on a weekly basis. Stalls cover three main categories: clothing, handicrafts and prepared foods, so it suits both shoppers and those looking for a casual bite after a day on the water. The exact stall count is not confirmed, but the market is well established on the local summer calendar. For official information on current dates and any schedule changes, the Ajuntament de Castelló d'Empúries covers the wider municipal area including Empuriabrava.
Planning your visit
Empuriabrava is a canal resort town, so the night market fits naturally into an evening stroll along the waterfront. Arriving early in the market session gives you the best pick of handicrafts and prepared foods before stalls start packing down. If you are visiting the Costa Brava more broadly, pairing this market with the street markets in Roses makes for a full day out.
