Tossa de Mar has three street markets, and the one most people are looking for is the weekly Thursday market on Rambla Pau Casals, which sets up from 8:00 to 14:00 with around 25 stalls. The other two are seasonal fairs that only run for part of the year. Between them the town's markets cover fresh fruit and vegetables, olive oil, bread and pastries, prepared foods, clothing, handicrafts and jewellery.
Staying in the old town, Vila Vella, puts you within easy walking distance of the weekly market and the medieval walls. For something more comfortable, Hotel Diana sits right on the main beach and is well placed for exploring the town on foot.
If you prefer a quieter base, the area around Platja Gran has plenty of smaller hotels and apartments, and you can reach the market square in just a few minutes.

Street markets in Tossa de Mar
Everything here trades outdoors. Tossa de Mar has no covered municipal market hall, so all three of its markets are street markets, set up in the morning and cleared away the same day. The Thursday market is the largest at roughly 25 stalls and the only one that runs year-round, which makes it the one to plan around. Food takes up much of it, with fruit, vegetables and olive oil alongside stalls selling clothing.
The two seasonal fairs work differently. They open later, usually from about 10:00, and stay out into the evening until around 21:00, which suits browsing rather than shopping for the week. Handicrafts, jewellery and prepared food you can eat standing up make up most of what is on sale. Dates shift from year to year, so check the Tossa de Mar tourism office before travelling for one.
Markets elsewhere on this stretch of the Costa Brava trade on other days of the week, and the province page sets out the full Girona calendar if the Thursday market does not fit your trip.
Runs every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 9pm. This seasonal Christmas fair brings handicrafts, jewelry and festive food stalls to Passeig del Mar.
Runs Saturdays and Sundays, 9am to 2pm, from May through September inside the walled Vila Vella quarter. Handicrafts, jewellery, textiles and prepared foods.
Saturday and Sunday are the busiest days in Tossa de Mar, with two of the town's three markets trading on each. Thursday and Friday have one apiece, and nothing trades between Monday and Wednesday.
That weekend total is misleading on its own, though, because the extra weekend trading comes from the seasonal fairs. Outside their seasons, Thursday is the only market day in town.
What day is market day in Tossa de Mar?
Market day in Tossa de Mar is Thursday, when the town's weekly street market sets up on Rambla Pau Casals from 8:00 to 14:00 with around 25 stalls. Saturday and Sunday each see two markets trading, but both of those are seasonal fairs rather than year-round fixtures, and no market at all runs from Monday to Wednesday.
Where is the Tossa de Mar market held?
The Tossa de Mar weekly market runs along Rambla Pau Casals, in the centre of town and a short walk from the beach and the walled old town. It is an outdoor market rather than a hall, with its 25 or so stalls lining the street on Thursday mornings from 8:00 until 14:00.
What time does the market in Tossa de Mar open?
The Tossa de Mar weekly market opens at 8:00 on Thursday and packs up at 14:00, so the food stalls are at their fullest well before midday. The town's two seasonal fairs keep later hours, opening at about 10:00 and staying out until around 21:00, and they trade at weekends rather than on Thursday.
What can you buy at the markets in Tossa de Mar?
The markets in Tossa de Mar sell fresh fruit and vegetables, olive oil, bread and pastries, prepared foods, clothing, handicrafts and jewellery. The Thursday market is where the food stalls are concentrated, and the town's two seasonal fairs lean towards handmade gifts, craft work and food you can eat on the spot.
