Markets in Calafell
Tarragona, Catalonia · 3 markets tracked
Calafell runs its market week on street markets rather than a covered municipal hall, and three of them trade across the municipality: the 18-stall Segur de Calafell Friday Market on the seafront, an indoor weekly market in the town itself, and a seasonal medieval market in the castle grounds. Locally you will see them signposted as the mercat, or mercadillo in Spanish. The street markets in this city have their own page, and the Tarragona province page covers market towns further along the Costa Daurada.

Street markets in Calafell
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.
