Platja d'Aro Brocante Fair

Platja d'Aro Brocante Fair sets up on Plaça dels Estanys every Wednesday and Friday from 9am to 8pm, and it is the antiques specialist among the markets in Platja d'Aro. Brocanters are second-hand and antiques dealers, and the eleven-hour day is what sets this fair apart from the town's other street markets: you can browse in the evening as easily as first thing.

What you'll find at Platja d'Aro Brocante Fair

Antiques are the whole of it. This is a dealers' fair rather than a general street market, so there is no produce, no clothing rail and no household plastics between you and the furniture, and what turns up on one Wednesday will not be there the next. Everything is open-air on the square, which is worth knowing in wet weather.
