Lloret de Mar Street Market

The market is weekly and Tuesday only, one of two the town runs that same morning. It is a street market with no indoor hall, set out on level ground and wheelchair accessible. Cash is the simplest thing to carry, though the 30 or so stalls also take contactless and mobile payments.

Clothing and textiles take up most of the pitches, alongside footwear and leather goods, so this is the market for a summer dress, a pair of sandals or a leather bag. The rest sell handmade jewellery and handicrafts, the easiest things here to take home as presents. There is no fresh produce. For fruit, vegetables and a much longer line of stalls, the Mercado Semanal de Lloret de Mar runs the same morning on Avinguda del Rieral.

Staying close to the seafront puts you in easy reach of the street market and the beach, so Town Centre is the most practical base. The Hotel Santa Marta is a solid choice if you want something comfortable a short walk from the action, and Hotel Guitart Central Park works well for families looking for good value close to the centre.

The address is Avinguda de Josep Pla Casadevall, 17310 Lloret de Mar, in the Girona province of Catalonia, within walking distance of the town centre and most hotels. Drivers can use the car park near the El Molí sports centre on Senyora de Rossell Street, roughly a three-minute walk away. For questions about the day's trading, the market number is +34 972 361 800.
