How do we get to Santa Coloma de Cervelló from Barcelona?

Drive is easiest: it's about 30km southwest, roughly 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic. By transit, take the R5 Renfe train from Plaça de Catalunya toward Martorell and get off at Santa Coloma de Cervelló station, then walk or taxi to the town center. Parking in the town during the festival weekend can fill up, so arrive early.

Is this just a cherry market?

No. Besides tasting and buying cherries from vendors, you'll see them in local dishes and artisan products, and the Mostra de la Cirera (Cherry Exhibition) is the centerpiece.
