Upcoming dates

L'Escala market is held on Sundays from 9:00 to 15:00 on the Plaça de l'Univers and the Passeig del Mar, facing the sea. With around 100 stalls it is the town's big market, general in character: clothing and accessories as the main strand, food, and a share of household goods.

Its hours are among the longest on the Costa Brava — it closes at three, when most markets in the area pack up around two — which leaves time to combine it with a walk through town. L'Escala is known for its anchovies and sits a step away from the ruins of Empúries.

Besides the Sunday market, the town has the local fruit and vegetable market on the Plaça Víctor Català, open on weekdays too, and in July and August the night market on the Passeig de Riells.
