Markets in Lugo centre around the walled old town, where the city's Roman heritage meets everyday Galician food culture. The main covered market, Mercado Municipal Quiroga Ballesteros, sits on Rúa Quiroga Ballesteros and stocks fresh seafood, local cheeses like tetilla and San Simón, and seasonal produce from the surrounding countryside.
On Tuesdays and Saturdays, the outdoor street market adds clothing, plants, and second-hand goods to the mix. Both markets wrap up by early afternoon, so plan to arrive in the morning for the best selection.
For more on what to see and do, the Lugo tourism office has route guides and event listings. You can also browse markets in nearby Sarria or Monforte de Lemos if you're exploring the wider province.
