Where to stay in L'Escala
Staying close to the old town puts you within easy walking distance of L'Escala's markets and the seafront. Try Old Town for a central base, or look at options along Riells Beach if you want to combine market visits with easy beach access.

The L'Escala Weekly Market is the town's biggest, with 40 stalls set up indoors each week. You'll find a practical mix of clothing, footwear, and fresh produce here, making it a useful stop whether you're after new sandals or something for the kitchen.
The L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market runs outdoors with 20 stalls dedicated to fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and organic produce. It's the place to go if you want locally grown food and eco-friendly options from the Alt Empordà region.
The L'Escala Riba Night Market offers something different from the daytime shopping: 20 outdoor stalls focused on handicrafts and jewellery. It's a good option for picking up handmade pieces in a relaxed evening setting along the waterfront.
