Markets in Pals
Girona, Catalonia · 4 markets tracked
Pals runs four weekly street markets in a medieval village in the Baix Empordà, a short drive inland from the Costa Brava. Two of them trade on Tuesday and two on Saturday, usually from 9am to 2pm, so a single morning covers whichever day you are here for. Dutch and German visitors searching for the weekmarkt or the Wochenmarkt in Pals are looking for these same four, and there is no permanent covered market hall in the village.

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.

Market days in Pals
Tuesday and Saturday are the market days. Two of the four markets set up on each, and nothing trades on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Sunday, so a Sunday visit finds the village lanes quiet of stalls. Stalls are generally up by 9am and packing away from 2pm, and the earlier hours are when the food counters still have the best of the produce.
Street markets in Pals
Between them the four markets cover fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, bread and bakery, local honey and organic produce, alongside clothing and textiles, antiques and handicrafts. The largest is Pals Weekly Market at 30 stalls, and that is the one to aim for if you want food to take back to a rented house along the coast.
The second-hand and bazar stalls are the other reason to come. Antiques, vintage clothing and handmade craft stands trade here in their own right rather than as a corner of the produce market, which is unusual for a village this size. Stall counts and the day each one sets up are listed for every market on the page for street markets in this city.
Nearby towns fill in the days Pals does not trade. Palafrugell holds several markets including a Sunday street market, Torroella de Montgrí has a regular weekly market, and the province page covers the rest of Girona. Official visitor information is on the Visit Pals tourism website.
