L'Escala Weekly Market

L'Escala Weekly Market sets up every Sunday from 8am to 2pm on Passeig Mar in L'Escala, on the Girona stretch of the Costa Brava. Around 40 stalls run along the seafront promenade, selling fruit and vegetables alongside clothing, textiles, footwear and leather goods. It is listed locally as Mercado semanal de L'Escala, and you can compare it with the other street markets in L'Escala before you set out.

What you'll find at L'Escala Weekly Market

Two things, roughly split. Fresh fruit and vegetables on the food side, and clothing, textiles, footwear and leather goods across the rest of the 40 stalls. Stalls here take cash, contactless cards and mobile payments, which is worth knowing before you set off with only a twenty in your pocket. Six hours is a generous run for a Sunday market, so arriving at ten still leaves you four.

What day is L'Escala Weekly Market?

L'Escala Weekly Market runs every Sunday from 8am to 2pm, and only on Sundays. It sets up on Passeig Mar, the seafront promenade, and is packed away by early afternoon. The pattern is weekly all year, so there is no seasonal break to plan around and no second trading day in the week.

What can you buy at L'Escala Weekly Market?

L'Escala Weekly Market sells fresh fruit and vegetables, clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, across around 40 stalls. It is a general street market rather than a food market, so shoes, bags and clothes sit alongside the produce rather than behind it, and the whole thing fits along one promenade.

Does L'Escala Weekly Market take cards?

Yes, stalls at L'Escala Weekly Market take contactless cards and mobile payments as well as cash. That is not the norm for a Spanish street market, where cash is often the only option, so the 40 stalls on Passeig Mar are easier to shop than most if you have not been to a cash machine.

Is there parking near L'Escala Weekly Market?

Yes, L'Escala Weekly Market has parking among its listed facilities, so you can drive to Passeig Mar rather than walk in from elsewhere in town. The site is wheelchair accessible too. Whether that parking is free or paid is not confirmed in our record, so treat it as unknown before Sunday.
