Get to Know the Market
A little background
he origins of the Girona Artesano Gastronomic Market date back to the 1960s, when farmers and craftsmen from the region would come to the city of Girona to trade and sell their products. As in so many other municipalities in Barcelona, street vending emerged in tandem with the agricultural calendar and livestock fairs, establishing itself over the generations as one of the town’s most important social and economic gatherings.
With the arrival of the 21st century and the economic transformation of rural areas, Girona’s weekly street market evolved: it gave way to large textile and footwear stalls, incorporated vendors from other provinces, and became professionalized under municipal regulations. Many of today’s market traders are third- or fourth-generation members of families that have been attending this event for decades, maintaining a direct connection to the city’s commercial fabric.
Today, the Girona Artesano Gastronomic Market maintains that popular essence while adapting to new trends: organic products, contemporary crafts, local cuisine, and a close relationship with consumers that large shopping centers cannot offer. The town council and the vendors’ association collaborate to preserve its traditional character in the heart of Girona.
