Fish markets and auctions
Fish market of Arenys de Mar
One of the most interesting times of the day to visit the port of Arenys is in the afternoon from Monday to Friday, because of the spectacle that all the boats form when they enter the port, followed by seagulls in search of discarded fish. After a long day of work, it's time to sell the fruits collected at the market, the building where the fish auction is held every afternoon.
Until recently, the Arenys auction was sung loudly. Today it is done using modern electronic methods.
You can come and see the auction for free from Monday to Friday at approximately 4pm in the fish market.

Sung auction of fish from Montgat and El Masnou
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 1pm you can visit and buy fresh fish at the Montgat fish market, located on the Montgat promenade, just opposite the Monsolís neighborhood and the Old Town.
And every Tuesday and Thursday at 1pm, the sung fish auction takes place in El Masnou. This traditional fish marketing system, which takes place in the Europa Square, in marina Masnou (very close to the El Masnou train station), has a special singularity: it is the last voice auction preserved in Catalonia! The auction promotes values such as sustainability: supporting artisanal fishing and the responsible use of our marine ecosystem, as well as the protection of the diversity of marine species.
You can currently check whether or not they open the auction through their Facebook profile El rollo de Montgat.
