El Troc, the fashion and accessories swap market in Andorra la Vella, is back. The fourth edition takes place on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 November 2026 at the Sala Consòrcia in the Congress Centre, on Plaça del Poble. It is organised by Andtropia, with the backing of the Comú d’Andorra la Vella.

What is El Troc

It is not a second-hand market but a swap space designed to give clothes a second life and promote the circular economy. You bring your clothes, they are assessed and you exchange them for “trocs”, the market’s symbolic currency. With those trocs you choose other pieces. Since its first edition in January 2025, more than 750 people have taken part with more than 3,500 garments.

How it works

Each person can bring up to five garments or accessories. At the April 2026 edition, basic garments such as T-shirts or trousers were worth 2 trocs, jackets, accessories and footwear 3, dresses and designer pieces 4, and unique or limited-edition pieces 5. These values may change this time, so it is best to check them at the market itself. Garments that are not suitable go to textile recycling or charities.

Opening times

  • Clothes drop-off: Friday 6 from 17:00 to 20:00 and Saturday 7 from 10:00 to 14:00.
  • Swapping: Saturday 7 from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00.

More than a swap

This edition includes a badge-making workshop, a children’s area and a café, so it is an outing the whole family can enjoy. Turnout keeps growing: in April 2026, 297 people took part and brought 1,479 garments.
