Santa Tecla to Tarragona: more than 50 Festive products at the Central Market and weekly purchase vouchers
The Santa Tecla products shop at the Central Market opened this Monday with more than fifty festive items for sale. This initiative marks the start of the traditional Festive Markets of Tarragona, which will also take place at the Torreforta Market from August 27 to September 10.
This year, the stallholders launch a weekly raffle of purchase vouchers among their customers, adding an incentive that will not go unnoticed by lovers of the Tarragona main festival.
The Festive Markets of Tarragona: the heart of the celebration
What can we find at the Central Market during Santa Tecla?
At the Central Market, at the La Teca and La Meca stall, they offer more than fifty official Santa Tecla products. Classics such as t-shirts, scarves, damasks, and bracelets coexist with more everyday items like cup holders, fans, or backpacks, designed to dress and live the festival in all its intensity.
Why is it important for public Markets to get involved in Santa Tecla?
Markets act as meeting points and social boosters, especially on festive dates. Being the place to purchase festive items reinforces their role as the center of local life, making the celebration accessible to everyone without having to travel far.
Raffles and schedules: What do you need to know to buy?
How do the purchase voucher raffles work?
The stallholders at the Central Market raffle weekly, until September 9, 26 vouchers worth 26 euros each among people who buy festive products. At the Torreforta Market, which opens on August 27, 20 vouchers are also raffled. You just need to fill out a ticket and drop it in the corresponding box to enter the raffle.
What are the visiting hours for the sales points?
The Central Market is open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., until September 9. The Torreforta Market will be active from August 27 to September 10, with reduced hours, mainly mornings and some evenings.
What happens once the Festive Markets end?
Where can Santa Tecla products be purchased after September 10?
Once the festive markets end, the sales point will move to the Tarragona Theater, thus maintaining the presence of official products until the closing of the festival.
