Markets in Tarragona range from the historic Mercat Central on Plaça de Corsini to weekly neighbourhood street markets spread across the city. With one permanent municipal market and five weekly street markets running on different days, there is usually something on no matter when you visit.
The Mercat Central dates back to 1915 and is known for its modernist architecture and a carillon clock on the main façade. Six figures from the Seguici Popular of Santa Tecla dance to the pasodoble Amparito Roca at noon each day. Inside you'll find fresh produce, seafood, meats, cheeses, and prepared foods. You can find more details about all Tarragona's markets on the Mercats de Tarragona website.
