Street markets in L'Arboç
The L'Arboç Weekly Market is an outdoor street market that runs alongside the municipal market each Tuesday. Stall numbers are not fixed, but the market covers products not found indoors, including meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. Together, the two Tuesday markets give shoppers a fairly complete range of fresh food in one visit.

The market in L'Arboç trades on Tuesday, with both the indoor municipal market and the outdoor street market open from 08:00 to around 14:00. It's the only trading day in the town's rota, so anyone planning a visit around a market needs to time it to a Tuesday morning.
How many markets are there in L'Arboç?
L'Arboç has two markets, both trading on Tuesday: an indoor municipal market on Carrer Major with around 25 stalls, and an outdoor street market that runs alongside it. Between them they cover fresh produce, bakery, flowers, clothing, meat, fish and dairy, giving shoppers a fairly complete range in a single morning.
Is there a market in L'Arboç on Sunday?
No, L'Arboç does not have a market on Sunday.

Anyone wanting a market at the weekend would need to look at a nearby town instead.
