Alcanar Weekly Market

Alcanar Weekly Market sets up every Thursday morning and runs from 9am to 2pm. It is an open-air market, and the stalls cover fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and clothing and textiles, the mix a town this size shops from week to week rather than a specialist food market. You can also see all markets in Alcanar or the town's other street markets.

What you'll find at Alcanar Weekly Market

Five kinds of stall are recorded here: fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, cheese and dairy, meat and poultry, and clothing and textiles. Nothing on record points to prepared food, flowers or antiques, so treat this as a weekly shop rather than a browsing market. The number of stalls is not recorded either, so expect the modest turnout a Thursday morning in a small town supports.

How to get to Alcanar Weekly Market

No street or square is recorded as the market's pitch, so if you are driving in for it, check where the stalls set up before you leave. The official page lists the local mercadillos and is the better source for the exact spot. There is nothing to see outside Thursday morning: the stalls are gone by 2pm.

Where to stay in Alcanar

Alcanar is small enough that the choice comes down to two areas. Staying in the town centre puts you within walking distance of the Thursday stalls and the local restaurants and cafes. Les Cases d'Alcanar, the coastal part of the municipality, is a short drive away and carries more rooms, especially over the summer.

What day is Alcanar Weekly Market?

Alcanar Weekly Market runs every Thursday, from 9am to 2pm. It is a weekly market with no seasonal break recorded, so that Thursday morning slot holds through the year. There is no second trading day: the stalls pack away at 2pm and there is nothing to come back for until the following Thursday.

What can you buy at Alcanar Weekly Market?

Alcanar Weekly Market sells fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and clothing and textiles. That is the full list recorded for it, so the market covers a week's food shop plus everyday clothing, and not crafts, antiques or food cooked to eat on the spot.

Do you need cash at Alcanar Weekly Market?

Yes, plan on cash at Alcanar Weekly Market. No payment options are recorded for its stalls, and card acceptance at an open-air market varies from one trader to the next, so nothing here confirms you could pay for fruit or a shirt by card. Small notes and coins are the safe assumption.
