L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market

L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market sets up in Plaça de Víctor Català on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 1:30pm.

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.

How to get to L'Escala Fruit and Vegetable Market
