Tips for visiting
Come in the first couple of hours for the fullest fruit and vegetable stalls. Clothing, footwear, jewellery, handicrafts and organic produce fill out the rest of the pitches, so it is worth a walk to the far end before buying. Carry cash, since card acceptance varies from one stall to the next.

Where to stay in L'Escala
Staying central puts you within walking distance of the market pitches and saves parking on a trading morning, when the streets fill early. 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. A car helps if you plan to reach markets elsewhere in Girona province, but not for these.
