Mercadillo del Espigón

Mercadillo del Espigón sets up in the open air along the Espigón del Muelle, on the waterfront in Salou, with stalls selling clothing, footwear, leather goods and handmade crafts. It runs weekly, though the day is not confirmed here, so check before you walk down. The other street markets in Salou are listed separately.

What you'll find at Mercadillo del Espigón

Three categories dominate the stalls: clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, and handicrafts. In practice that is casual and seasonal wear for the whole family, bags, belts and leather accessories, and handmade pieces bought as gifts. This is a general street market rather than a food one, so there is no produce, bread or fish along the quay.

How to get to Mercadillo del Espigón

The market is at the Espigón del Muelle, on Salou's waterfront, close enough to the town centre to walk from most of the seafront hotels. Salou tourism publishes the current dates and hours on its official page for the market. For markets further along the coast, see the province page.

Where to stay in Salou

Staying close to the seafront puts you right near the Mercadillo del Espigón, so look at options along Passeig de Miramar for easy access on foot. The Hotel Estival Centurion and Hotel Salou Beach by Pierre & Vacances are both solid choices in this part of town.

If you prefer somewhere a little more central with shops and cafés nearby, Salou Town Centre gives you plenty of options within walking distance of the market and the beach.
