Twenty stalls of fruit, vegetables and organic produce in Plaça de Víctor Català, open 9am to 1:30pm on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market sets up in Plaça de Víctor Català on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 1:30pm. Twenty stalls sell fruit, vegetables and organic produce in the open air, and three trading mornings a week means you rarely have to plan a trip around it. It is one of the markets in L'Escala, listed alongside the town's other street markets.
What you'll find at L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market
This is a produce market rather than a general street market: fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and organic produce across the 20 stalls, and nothing else on the record. There are no clothing or household rails to work past, which keeps the whole thing to a square's worth of trestles and about four and a half hours of trading.
Where to stay in L'Escala
Staying close to the old town puts you within easy walking distance of the market and the seafront. Try Old Town for a good base, or look for places near Riells Beach if you want to be close to the water without straying far from the action.
If you prefer a hotel with more facilities, Hotel Nieves Mar is a solid choice and well placed for exploring the town on foot.

What day is L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market?
L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market runs on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, from 9am to 1:30pm on each of those three days.

Is L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market open on Sunday?
Yes, L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market runs on Sunday from 9am to 1:30pm, the same hours as its Thursday and Saturday mornings. Sunday is one of three trading days each week, so the full 20 stalls of fruit, vegetables and organic produce are out in Plaça de Víctor Català.
Where is L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market?
L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market sets up in Plaça de Víctor Català, 17130 L'Escala, in the centre of the town on the Girona coast. It is an open-air market with no covered hall, so the 20 stalls stand in the square itself rather than under a roof, and pack away again at 1:30pm.
Do you need cash at L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market?
Yes, carry cash to L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market: card acceptance is not confirmed at any of its 20 stalls, and street traders each set their own terms. With trading limited to four and a half hours, from 9am to 1:30pm, you don't want to spend part of it finding a cash machine.
