Street Markets in Pals
Girona, Catalonia · 4 street markets
Street markets in Pals run on two days a week, Tuesday and Saturday, with four markets spread across them and the usual hours 9am to 2pm. Tuesday is the busier of the two: the Pals Weekly Market alone fills around 30 stalls with fruit, vegetables, bread, cheese and clothing. Saturday is the other half of the week's trade, and it leans towards antiques, second-hand goods and handicrafts rather than the weekly shop. All four sit on the Pals city page alongside the village's practical details.

What you'll find
Across the four markets you'll find fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, bread, cheese and dairy, local honey and organic produce, plus clothing and textiles, handicrafts and antiques. The split matters when you're planning: Tuesday is where the food stalls concentrate, and the antique and second-hand stalls are a Saturday affair. Nothing trades midweek between them, so a Wednesday or Thursday visit to the village will find the squares empty.

Tips for visiting
Arrive close to 9am, when the stalls open and the produce is still picked over, and expect most of them to be packing up by 2pm. Bring cash, since card acceptance varies from one stall to the next. Pals is a walled medieval village with narrow lanes and restricted access at the centre, so park on the edge and walk in. Other towns along this stretch of the Girona coast run their markets on different days, which the Girona province page sets out if you want to build a week around them.
Where to stay in Pals
Staying in or right around Old Town puts you inside the walls and within a few minutes' walk of the market squares, which matters on a Tuesday when the lanes fill and driving in is not an option. If you want more choice of hotels and apartments, Platja de Pals on the coast is a short drive away, though you will want a car to reach the 9am opening comfortably.
What day is the street market in Pals?
Tuesday is the main street market day in Pals, with two of the village's four markets trading, including the 30-stall Pals Weekly Market. The other two run on Saturday and lean towards antiques and second-hand goods. Both days keep the same hours, 9am to 2pm, and nothing trades between Wednesday and Friday.
Is there a flea market in Pals?
Yes, Pals has a second-hand and antiques market that runs on Saturdays, one of the four street markets in the village. Antiques, handicrafts and second-hand clothing are what the Saturday stalls trade in, as opposed to the fresh produce that dominates Tuesday. Hours are the same, 9am to 2pm.
Are street markets in Pals free to enter?
Yes, entry to all four street markets in Pals is free. You pay the stall holder directly for anything you buy, and it is worth carrying cash, since card acceptance varies from one stall to the next across both the Tuesday and Saturday markets.
What time do street markets in Pals open?
Street markets in Pals open at 9am and run until about 2pm, on both Tuesday and Saturday. Produce stalls at the Tuesday market are at their best in the first hour or two, and by early afternoon most of the four markets have packed up, so a morning visit is the only one that works.
What's the biggest street market in Pals?
The Pals Weekly Market is the biggest of the village's four street markets, with around 30 stalls trading every Tuesday from 9am to 2pm. It carries the widest range of fresh produce and everyday goods, from fruit and vegetables to cheese, bread and clothing, and runs year round rather than seasonally.
