Markets in L'Hospitalet de l'Infant
Tarragona, Catalonia · 4 markets tracked
L'Hospitalet de l'Infant has four street markets and no covered municipal market, so everything trades in the open air. The hours are what set the town apart from the rest of the coast: the usual start is 6pm and stalls stay up towards midnight, which makes these evening markets rather than the morning affairs found in most of the province. Every one of the four is listed with its own day and stall count on the street markets in this city page.
