Markets in Galicia

Galicia's market tradition reflects the region's deep connection to the Atlantic coast and fertile countryside.

From the ancient stone squares of Santiago de Compostela to the fishing ports of Vigo and A Coruña, weekly street markets and permanent municipal halls showcase the region's exceptional produce.

Galician markets are renowned for their extraordinary seafood displays, featuring everything from percebes and pulpo to fresh sardines and razor clams.

Local vendors also sell Padrón peppers, Tetilla cheese, and seasonal vegetables from the green interior valleys.

The market culture here maintains strong ties to Celtic traditions, with many towns holding their weekly gatherings on the same days for centuries, creating authentic spaces where Galician language and customs flourish alongside commercial exchange.
