Roses Weekly Market

Roses Weekly Market, the Mercadillo de Roses, sets up every Sunday from 9am to 2pm on Ronda Miquel Oliva Prat and packs away by early afternoon. With 220 stalls it is a general market rather than a food market: fruit, vegetables, meat and bread trade alongside clothing, footwear, jewellery, flowers and handicrafts. It is listed with the rest of the markets in Roses, and with the town's other street markets.

What you'll find at Roses Weekly Market

The produce stalls carry seasonal fruit and vegetables alongside meat and poultry, and bakers sell bread and pastries from the same run of pitches. Spice and herb stalls sit among them, and prepared foods are on sale if you want to eat something while you walk. Clothing and textiles take up several sections, with footwear and leather goods, jewellery and handicrafts for anyone shopping for something other than food. Flower and plant stalls round out the 220.

What day is Roses Weekly Market?

Roses Weekly Market runs every Sunday, from 9am to 2pm, on Ronda Miquel Oliva Prat. It is a weekly market, so Sunday is the only day the 220 stalls trade and there is no second market day during the week. Locally it is signed as the Mercadillo de Roses.

What time does Roses Weekly Market close?

Roses Weekly Market closes at 2pm on Sunday, five hours after it opens at 9am. It sets up outdoors on Ronda Miquel Oliva Prat with no indoor hall, and once the 220 stalls pack away there is no afternoon session, so the morning is the whole of it.

Do you need cash at Roses Weekly Market?

Yes, bring cash to Roses Weekly Market. No card payment is confirmed for its 220 stalls, and acceptance at Spanish street markets varies from one trader to the next, so cash is the safe assumption. Small notes and coins are easiest, since a stall selling a few euros of fruit may not have change for a fifty.
