Markets in Calafell

Calafell is a small coastal town, so staying central puts you close to everything. Calafell Centre is the most practical base, with the markets, beach, and local shops all within easy walking distance.

If you want something more relaxed, the beachfront area works well too. Calafell Platja gives you a quieter stay with quick access to the town centre when market days roll around.

The Friday market in Segur de Calafell is the weekly shop for this stretch of coast. Its 18 stalls run along the Passeig Marítim, between Carrer Rin and Carrer Po, and around the Plaça del Port, mixing fruit and vegetables, meat, fish and dairy with clothing, footwear, flowers and jewellery. The Tuesday market on the Passeig de la Unió is the one indoor option and sticks to food.

The medieval market is a summer fixture rather than a year-round one, running May to September at the Castell de la Santa Creu, and its stalls sell handicrafts, jewellery, prepared foods and bread rather than groceries. Nearby El Vendrell and Torredembarra also hold weekly markets if you want to combine visits.

Two days carry the everyday shopping in Calafell, and the weekend belongs to the castle. Tuesday is the indoor market from 9am to 2pm, Friday the seafront stalls at Segur de Calafell from 8am to 2pm. Between May and September the medieval market adds Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the castle, running to 9pm rather than closing at lunchtime like the other two.

The Calafell tourism website carries current event dates.

Segur de Calafell Friday Market opens at 8am every Friday and packs up at 2pm, the earliest start of the three markets in Calafell. It sets up outdoors with no covered section, spread between the Passeig Marítim and the Plaça del Port, and at 18 stalls it is the largest in the municipality.

The medieval market at the Castell de la Santa Creu is the only one of Calafell's three markets that opens at the weekend, trading Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 9pm between May and September. Outside those months no market runs on a Saturday or Sunday here, and the next trading day is the Tuesday indoor market.
