Salou Carboot

Salou Carboot (Rastrillo Benéfico en Salou) is an open-air flea market of antiques and second-hand goods that sets up in the municipal car park opposite Salou Town Hall, on Carrer de Pere Gales. It runs weekly, but no trading day is confirmed online, so treat the organiser's own listing as the schedule. It is one of the markets in Salou, alongside the town's other street markets.

What you'll find at Salou Carboot

Stalls sell antiques, clothing and textiles, and footwear and leather goods. That is a narrower spread than a general Spanish mercadillo, and it is the point: this is a rastrillo, closer to a British car boot sale than to a fruit-and-vegetable street market. Everything trades outdoors on the car park tarmac, so the stock on any given week is whatever the sellers have brought with them.

How to get to Salou Carboot

The market uses the aparcamiento municipal directly opposite the Ayuntamiento de Salou, on Carrer de Pere Gales, so the town hall is the landmark to aim for. Check the official page for current dates and times before you travel. For the wider area, see the Tarragona province page.

Where to stay in Salou

Salou is a compact resort town, so you're never far from the action. Staying in the Town Centre puts you within easy reach of the market and the beach, while Hotel Salou Pacific is a reliable, well-located option if you want somewhere straightforward and comfortable.

If you'd rather be closer to the seafront, Llevant Beach Area has plenty of hotels and apartments at different price points, and it's still a short walk to where the car boot sets up.

What day is Salou Carboot?

Salou Carboot has no confirmed trading day published online. The rastrillo is run weekly by Freesia Events in the municipal car park opposite Salou Town Hall, so check the organiser's own listing for the next date rather than turning up on spec, since a car park with nothing on it looks the same on any weekday.
