L'Arboç Market
L'Arboç's Tuesday market on Carrer Major dates back to 1202, with 25 indoor stalls selling fresh produce, bread, flowers, and clothing in the heart of Penedès wine country.
L'Arboç Market is a weekly indoor market held every Tuesday morning on Carrer Major in L'Arboç, a small town in Tarragona's Baix Penedès county. The market opens at 8am and runs until 2pm, with around 25 stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, flowers, and clothing. The Tuesday market tradition here dates back to 1202, when King Pere el Catòlic granted the town the right to hold a weekly market, making it one of the oldest in the province.
What to buy
Fresh fruit and vegetables make up the core of the stalls, alongside bread and bakery goods, cut flowers, and clothing. It's a practical local market rather than a tourist destination, so you'll find everyday produce alongside the occasional seasonal item. Cash is accepted, as are contactless and mobile payments. Arrive before midday for the widest choice, as some stalls begin packing up in the early afternoon.
