Creixell Municipal Market

Creixell Municipal Market is a 15-stall indoor food market at Carrer del Mercat, 57, in a coastal town on the Costa Daurada in the province of Tarragona. It opens Monday to Saturday from 9am and stays open into the evening, which is what makes it useful on this stretch of coast. See all markets in Creixell for everything else trading in the town.

About Creixell Municipal Market

The market is Creixell's main fresh food hub, sitting in the town centre within easy walking distance of the beach and local accommodation. Hours run 9am to 9pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 9:30pm on Saturday, with the market closed on Sunday. That evening closing time is unusual for a market of 15 stalls, and it means the fish and bakery counters are still open long after most covered markets in Tarragona province have shut for the day.

The building is wheelchair accessible, and stalls take cash, contactless and mobile payments. In Catalan the market is the Mercat Municipal de Creixell and in Spanish the Mercado Municipal de Creixell; Dutch and German visitors along this coast tend to search for it as the Creixell markt.

Where to stay in Creixell

Creixell is a small coastal town, so staying close to the beach and town centre puts you within easy walking distance of the market and everything else. Try Town Centre for the most convenient base, or look at options along Creixell Beach if you want to combine your market visit with some time by the sea.

Tarragona is a short drive away and offers more accommodation options if you prefer a larger town as your base, with the market open six days a week for whichever day you come in.

What time does Creixell Municipal Market open?

Creixell Municipal Market opens at 9am Monday to Saturday, closing at 9pm from Monday to Friday and at 9:30pm on Saturday. It does not open on Sunday.

Can you eat at Creixell Municipal Market?
