Tips for visiting
Come on a Saturday if you want the widest choice, since two of the three markets trade that day, and on a Friday if fresh produce is what you're after: the weekly market's 40 stalls are the city's main source of fruit and vegetables. Bring cash, as card acceptance varies from one stall to the next. Nothing here runs into the afternoon, so treat it as a morning out and use the rest of the day for the coast. For indoor food shopping on a day when nothing sets up in the street, see the municipal markets in El Vendrell, and for both types together, all markets in this city. Other market towns nearby are listed on the Tarragona province page.
Where to stay in El Vendrell
Stay in the town itself if you're here for the markets. El Vendrell Town Centre puts you within walking distance of the streets the markets use, which matters when they open at 9am and are finished by 2pm, and it means you don't need a car for a Friday or Saturday morning. If you'd rather have a pool and a beach, look along the coast at Coma-ruga, where Hotel Neptuno sits a short drive from town.
