If you're looking for markets in Lloret de Mar for fresh produce, clothing or crafts, the Mercat dels Dimecres is the must-visit weekly event. Every Wednesday morning, carrer de l'Emigrant fills with stalls selling everything from fruit and vegetables to clothes and household items. Just 12 km away, Tossa de Mar adds a highly recommended craft market in summer. This guide covers the best markets and street markets in Lloret and the surrounding area, with opening times, typical products and tips for buying authentic Costa Brava souvenirs.
When and where are the main markets in Lloret de Mar?
The weekly market in Lloret, known as the Mercat dels Dimecres, sets up along carrer de l'Emigrant from 8:00 to 14:00. It's not a dedicated craft market but a general one: you'll find seasonal fruit and vegetables, clothing, footwear and household items. For tourists it's a chance to see local life and pick up some fresh produce or cured meats.
In summer, according to local operators, a night market usually appears along the seafront promenade (July and August, roughly 20:00 to 00:00). There you'll find plenty of stalls selling jewellery, T-shirts and souvenirs. The atmosphere is more fun, with music and terraces nearby. If you're visiting during high season, it's well worth a stroll as evening falls.

Craft markets in Tossa de Mar: just 12 km away
Tossa de Mar holds a very popular craft market in Plaça de la Vila and surrounding streets during summer (June to September, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 17:00 to 22:00). You can find hand-painted ceramics, silver jewellery, leather pieces, blown glass and textiles such as linen tablecloths and scarves. Prices aren't fixed, but a medium-sized ceramic piece can cost between 15 and 40 €.
Getting there from Lloret is easy: just 15-20 minutes by car via the GI-682 (coast road) or by bus (line L80, about 25 minutes). Once in Tossa, the market is just a stone's throw from the beach and the Vila Vella. Combining a visit with a stroll through the old town and a swim on the beach makes for a perfect afternoon.
To make the most of your visit, a small guided tour of the Vila Vella rounds off the experience. A local guide reveals hidden corners and details not found in guidebooks. It often includes priority access to the walls. It's a convenient way to learn about the history without missing a thing.
Where to buy typical Catalan products in Lloret?
Lloret doesn't have a covered municipal food market. Grocery shopping is done at supermarkets or local shops. To find typical Catalan products such as coca de Lloret (a sweet similar to a roscón, typical of the area), fuet or llonganissa, it's worth popping into the delicatessens in the centre, like Can Xaxu or Cal Manyà (on carrer Sant Pere). There are also wine shops offering labels from the DO Empordà, at around 10-15 € a bottle.
If you're looking for edible crafts to take home, mel i mató (fresh cheese with honey) is a classic, as is packaged crema catalana. At the Artesania Costa Brava shop (carrer de la Vila, 15 – worth checking if it's still open) they used to have a good selection of local produce and ceramics.
Fairs and themed markets in Lloret: Fira de la Candelera and Sant Joan
The Fira de la Candelera takes place on the first weekend of February in central Lloret. It's a craft and local products fair, with stalls selling ceramics, basketwork, cured meats and typical sweets. The atmosphere is festive, with activities for children and traditional music. Exact dates vary each year, but it usually coincides with 2nd February (Candlemas).
Around Sant Joan (late June) special stalls are set up in the streets of the old town, especially in Plaça de la Vila. There you'll find aromatic herbs, artisanal liqueurs and seasonal products. Although not big fairs, they add a cosy touch to the celebration.
Practical tips for visiting the markets: prices, opening times and parking
Prices at the markets in Lloret and Tossa are reasonable. A small souvenir (magnet, keyring) costs between 2 and 5 €. Craft items (ceramics, jewellery) range from 15 to 50 € depending on size and material. At the food market, a kilo of seasonal fruit is around 2-4 €.
The best time to go is early morning for Lloret's weekly market – that way you'll park without hassle. On carrer de l'Emigrant there is free street parking on adjacent streets, but it fills up fast. The pay public car park at Plaça de la Vila is a 5-minute walk away. For the summer night market, it's better to go on foot or by public transport, as the seafront gets very busy.
What authentic souvenirs to take from the Costa Brava?
The Costa Brava has a long craft tradition. Blue and green painted ceramics (typical of La Bisbal d'Empordà) are found on many stalls. Bobbin lace, handmade by local artisans, is also popular. Cork, from the Montseny area, is turned into coasters, bags or small sculptures.
In gastronomy, coca de Lloret is a very local sweet that is hard to find outside the municipality. A wine from the DO Empordà, a fuet or a jar of honey complete a tasty souvenir hamper. For these products, the shops in central Lloret and the Tossa market offer good options. Avoid the generic magnet stalls and look for those with a label of origin.
