Where to stay in Platja d'Aro
Platja d'Aro is a compact resort town, so staying near the town centre puts you within easy walking distance of the markets and the beach. Try Town Centre for the most convenient base, or look at options along the seafront if you want to combine market browsing with some time by the water.
For a reliable mid-range stay, Hotel Carles is a solid choice that keeps you close to the action. If you prefer something with a pool and more resort-style comfort, Hotel Columbus is well placed and popular with visitors exploring the Costa Brava.
Tours & Activities in Platja d'Aro
Municipal markets in Platja d'Aro
The Platja d'Aro Municipal Market is an indoor market on Avinguda de Castell d'Aro with around 15 stalls. It runs every Friday morning and concentrates on everyday fresh produce: fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. Arriving before 10am gives you the best choice of stock, particularly at the fish and seafood stalls, which tend to sell out by late morning. The indoor setting makes it a reliable option whatever the weather.
Street markets in Platja d'Aro
The Platja d'Aro Weekly Market is the largest market in town by a considerable margin, with 150 outdoor stalls selling fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, clothing and footwear. It runs weekly and draws a mix of local residents and visitors staying along the beachfront. For the best selection of produce and the least crowded aisles, aim to arrive early in the morning.
The Castell d'Aro Medieval Market offers a very different atmosphere, with stalls focused on handicrafts, jewellery and prepared foods in a setting styled around the area's medieval heritage. The Platja d'Aro Local Producers Market is worth seeking out if organic produce is a priority, as it brings together local growers selling fresh fruit, vegetables and prepared foods alongside certified organic lines. The Platja d'Aro Brocante Fair rounds out the street market calendar with a dedicated antiques and second-hand goods format, running weekly outdoors.
For more market options along this stretch of the Girona coast, Sant Feliu de Guíxols holds a popular market with good local produce, and Tossa de Mar has a well-attended weekly market close to the old town. You can find current opening hours and seasonal market events on the official Platja d'Aro tourism site.
