Valls has four street markets and no municipal market hall, so everything the town sells over a counter is sold from a stall on a set day. The town sits inland in Tarragona province, and the biggest of the four, Firagost Valls, puts 350 stalls out on its own. Dates and any changes are published on the Visita Valls markets page.

Where to stay in Valls
Valls is a compact town, so staying in or close to Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the main markets and the famous calçotada restaurants. The centre is small enough that you won't need a car to get around once you're settled.
If you prefer somewhere with a bit more comfort, Eixample has a handful of good options that are still just a short stroll from the action. Book early if you're visiting during the Calçotada Festival in January, as rooms fill up fast.

Street markets in Valls
Between them the four markets cover fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, bread and bakery, spices and herbs and prepared foods, alongside clothing and textiles, flowers and plants, handicrafts, jewellery, books and antiques. A full food shop and a browse for second-hand finds are both possible here, though rarely on the same morning, since the smaller markets are each built around one category rather than trying to cover everything.

How many markets are there in Valls?
