Where to stay in Pals
Pals is a small medieval village, so accommodation options are limited but charming. Staying in or right around Old Town puts you within easy walking distance of the village market and the historic centre. If you prefer more comfort and choice, the nearby coastal area of Platja de Pals has several hotels and apartments just a short drive away.
For a more rural feel, look for a farmhouse stay or rural hotel in the surrounding countryside, where you can enjoy the Empordà landscape and still reach the markets in minutes.
Tours & Activities in Pals
Street markets in Pals
The largest of the four markets is the outdoor Pals Weekly Market, which runs weekly and sets up 30 stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese and dairy, fish and seafood, and bread and pastries. This is the best option if you are looking for locally sourced food to take back to your accommodation along the coast.
A second Pals Weekly Market runs indoors on a weekly basis with a focus on fresh produce, meat and poultry, bread and pastries, and local honey, including organic options. The indoor setting makes it a reliable choice regardless of weather, and it is a good spot to pick up Arroz de Pals and seasonal goods from the surrounding farmland.
The Pals Second-Hand Market runs outdoors each week with 20 stalls specialising in clothing, antiques, and handicrafts. It attracts collectors and browsers in equal measure and is one of the more distinctive markets in the Girona province for vintage finds.
The Pals Summer Market is an outdoor weekly market focused on fresh fruit, vegetables, and clothing, running during the summer season. It draws additional footfall from visitors staying along the Costa Brava coast. For other nearby options, Palafrugell holds several markets including a popular Sunday street market, and Torroella de Montgrí also has a regular weekly market worth combining with a trip to the area. You can find official local visitor information on the Visit Pals tourism website.
