Markets in Tarragona Province

Tarragona province has 108 markets across 39 towns, and 91 of them are street markets that set up in a square or along a stretch of road for the morning. The other 17 are municipal market halls, open on a fixed weekly pattern rather than a single trading day.

Saturday is the day to plan around. 57 of the 108 markets trade then, more than double the 24 that run on a Monday, the quietest trading day of the week. Most keep the same hours, 09:00 to 14:00, so an early start matters. By two in the afternoon the stalls are coming down, and the produce sellers have usually gone before that.

The markets cluster along the coast and in the larger inland towns, with Tarragona city and Reus accounting for 20 between them. Day information is confirmed for 97 of the 108; for the remaining 11 the trading day is not recorded here, so check each market's own page rather than assuming a pattern.
