Markets in Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela's market scene reflects the city's dual character as both pilgrimage destination and Galician capital.

The historic centre hosts regular street markets where local producers sell seasonal vegetables, artisanal cheeses, and traditional breads alongside pilgrim supplies.

The municipal Mercado de Abastos, housed in a striking stone building near the cathedral, operates daily with permanent stalls offering fresh seafood, regional specialities, and local wines.

Weekend markets expand into surrounding squares, creating a network of trading spots that serve both residents and the steady stream of visitors completing the Camino de Santiago.
