2 markets tracked in Vinaròs.
Thursday is market day in Vinaròs, and it is the only one. Both of the town's street markets trade on the same morning, from 08:00 to 14:00, so arriving on a Tuesday or a Sunday looking for a mercadillo means finding the streets quiet. Plan for Thursday and you get the whole market scene of this northern Castellón coastal town in a single walk.
Come before midday. The larger of the two, the Thursday Market of Vinaròs, sets out around 40 stalls, and by half past one traders are folding tables and loading vans, so the last half hour is packing up rather than trading.
Staying in the Town Centre puts you within walking distance of Thursday morning trading, which matters when the markets close at 14:00 and you would rather not be hunting for a parking space at eight.
For something with more comfort, Hotel Roca sits close to the seafront and a short stroll from the main market area. The waterfront Passeig Maritim is worth considering if you want to pair the market with time by the sea.

Both of Vinaròs's street markets run weekly on Thursday and keep the same 08:00 to 14:00 hours. Between them they cover fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, bread and fish alongside clothing, footwear, leather goods and handicrafts, which is the usual split between shopping for the week and everyday goods at below shop prices.
Vinaròs is a fishing port, and its langostinos are what the town is known for along this coast, which is reason enough to give the fish and seafood stalls proper attention rather than treating them as an afterthought. Cash is the easier option at most stalls, and your own bag saves a fumble at the first purchase. The centre is compact enough that you will not need a car once you are in it.
Around 40 stalls on Passeig de Fora del Forat every Thursday from 8am to 2pm, selling fresh produce, seafood, meat and clothing by the Vinaròs seafront.

Thursday is the only market day in Vinaròs. Both of the town's street markets trade on Thursday morning, from 08:00 to 14:00, and nothing runs on any other day of the week, so a visit built around a mercadillo here has to be a Thursday one.
Markets in Vinaròs open at 08:00 and close at 14:00. Both of the town's Thursday street markets keep those hours, and arriving before midday gives you the market at full strength, because by half past one the stalls are being dismantled and the final half hour is packing up rather than trading.
Vinaròs has two markets, both of them street markets, and both trade on Thursday morning between 08:00 and 14:00. The larger of the pair, the Thursday Market of Vinaròs, runs to around 40 stalls. Each one has its own page here with its location, opening details and product list.
The markets in Vinaròs sell fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, and bread and bakery goods, alongside clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, and handicrafts. Vinaròs is a fishing port, so the seafood stalls are the ones to reach first on a Thursday morning.
No, there is no market in Vinaròs on a Sunday. All trading in the town is concentrated on Thursday morning, when both of the street markets run from 08:00 to 14:00. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday all pass without a mercadillo setting up anywhere in the town.
