Markets in Roses
Girona, Catalonia
Roses market life divides between two distinct experiences: a compact indoor municipal market open weekly in the town centre, and a large weekly street market that draws over 220 stalls to the Costa Brava town each week. Roses sits at the northern tip of the Gulf of Roses in the Alt Empordà, and both markets reflect the area's fishing heritage and agricultural traditions of the Empordà plain.

Where to stay in Roses
Staying in Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the main market areas, with plenty of cafes and restaurants to fuel your browsing. The seafront is compact enough that most accommodation options keep you close to the action.
For something comfortable and well-located, Hotel Montecarlo Roses and Hotel Port Roses are solid choices that place you right in the heart of things. If you prefer a quieter base, look for places along Platja de Roses where you can enjoy the beach and still reach the markets on foot.
Tours & Activities in Roses
Municipal markets in Roses
The Roses Municipal Market (Mercat Municipal de Roses) is an indoor market with around 25 stalls in the centre of town. Its focus is squarely on fresh food: you'll find fish and seafood landed at the local port, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and seasonal fruit and vegetables from the surrounding Empordà farmland. For visitors spending time on the Costa Brava, it offers a reliable stop for quality local produce. The Visit Roses tourism office can provide current opening hours and any seasonal changes.
Street markets in Roses
The Roses Weekly Market is one of the larger street markets in the Girona province, running once a week with 220 outdoor stalls. The range here shifts away from fresh food toward clothing, footwear, and handicrafts, though you'll still find fresh fruit and vegetables among the stalls. Its size makes it worth planning your visit around, particularly if you're combining a trip to nearby markets in Cadaqués or elsewhere along the coast.
