Pals Summer Market

Pals Summer Market sets up on Saturday mornings at Platja del Grau, off Av. Arenals de Mar, in Pals on the Girona coast. It runs from 9am to 2pm, and only in June, July and August, so it is a summer fixture rather than a year-round one. The town's other street markets in Pals are listed separately.

What you'll find at Pals Summer Market

Fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and clothing and textiles are what the stalls carry. Because the market only runs across the three summer months, the produce is high-season growing rather than the full Catalan year. This is a general street market, not a food hall: the clothing and textile stalls sit alongside the produce rather than in a separate section.

Everything is open air, with nothing covered, so a 9am start beats the worst of the August heat. Stalls pack away at 2pm and the site is clear by early afternoon.

How to get to Pals Summer Market

The market is at Platja del Grau, on Av. Arenals de Mar, which is the beach side of Pals rather than the hilltop medieval village most visitors come for. The two are a short drive apart, so check which one you are heading to before you set off. For markets further along this stretch of coast, see Girona province.

Where to stay in Pals

Staying in the medieval village of Pals itself puts you right at the heart of things, and Pals Old Town is the most atmospheric option, with stone-walled accommodation just a short walk from the market. For something a little more comfortable, Platja de Pals on the nearby coast gives you beach access alongside easy drives into town.

What day is Pals Summer Market?

Pals Summer Market runs on Saturdays, from 9am to 2pm, at Platja del Grau. Those Saturdays fall in June, July and August only, so the market is not a year-round weekly fixture despite running every week within its season. Outside those three months it does not set up at all.

Which months does Pals Summer Market run?

Pals Summer Market runs in June, July and August, trading each Saturday from 9am to 2pm at Platja del Grau. It does not open in spring, autumn or winter, which is what the name points to. Anyone visiting Pals outside the summer should look at the town's other markets instead.

Where does Pals Summer Market set up?

Pals Summer Market sets up at Platja del Grau, off Av. Arenals de Mar, on the beach side of Pals rather than in the hilltop medieval village inland. The two are a short drive apart. Stalls are entirely open air and trade from 9am to 2pm on summer Saturdays.
