Torroella de Montgrí Monday Market

Monday is the only trading day. The market runs weekly, from 8am to 1:30pm, at Avinguda de Roma, 41, and everything is packed away by early afternoon, so this is a morning out rather than a day.

Stalls are outdoors, with no indoor hall to retreat into if the weather turns. Cash is the only payment method recorded here, so draw what you need before you arrive. The market is pet-friendly, which is worth knowing if the walk into town usually involves a dog.

Three trades are listed for the market: clothing and textiles, handicrafts, and flowers and plants. That makes it a general Monday mercadillo rather than a food market, with clothing stalls forming the bulk of what is laid out along Avinguda de Roma, alongside handmade goods and seasonal blooms and potted plants.

Staying in Town Centre puts you within walking distance of Avinguda de Roma and the Monday stalls. The Hotel de la Plaça sits in the same central streets, with guesthouses nearby.

For a coastal base, the beach resort of L'Estartit is a short trip away and still an easy run in for the market.

The market's address is Avinguda de Roma, 41, 17258 Torroella de Montgrí, in the province of Girona. Stalls run along the avenue itself, so on a Monday morning the street is where to head rather than any single building.
