Markets in Palafrugell
Girona, Catalonia · 5 markets tracked
Palafrugell has five markets, four street markets and one covered municipal hall, all in one town on the Baix Emporda coast, inland from Calella and Llafranc in the province of Girona. Spanish signs call it the mercado, Catalan ones the mercat, and Dutch and German visitors will see markt.
The week is weighted towards the weekend. Saturday and Sunday each have three markets running, Tuesday to Friday two, and Monday none at all. The commonest hours are 08:00 to 13:00, which makes this a morning town. Between them the five sell fresh fruit and vegetables, fish, meat, cheese and bread alongside clothing, footwear, handicrafts and jewellery, and four of the five have confirmed trading days.

Municipal markets in Palafrugell
One of the five is a municipal market, a covered hall of around 15 stalls. That matters in two situations: wet weather, when the open-air stalls are the first to suffer, and out of season, when the hall is the more reliable stop. Details are on the municipal market page.
Street markets in Palafrugell
Four of the five are open-air, and between them they account for most of the weekend activity. The largest sets up around 40 stalls; the rest are smaller and quicker to walk. All work to roughly the same 08:00 to 13:00 window, so a market morning still leaves the afternoon free for the coast. Full days, times and what each one sells are on the street markets in Palafrugell page.
