About Celanova Street Market
Celanova Street Market operates every Thursday from 8am to 2pm in the town's central Praza Maior. This weekly market gathers local vendors selling everything from fresh seafood to clothing in the historic square.
The market's standout feature is its traditional octopus stalls where vendors prepare pulpo a feira in the traditional Galician style. You'll find the octopus boiled and served with olive oil, coarse salt, and paprika on wooden plates.
Beyond the famous octopus, vendors offer fresh fish from the Galician coast, locally baked bread, and prepared foods. Clothing and textile stalls round out the selection, providing everyday items alongside the food offerings.
The outdoor setup means the market runs in all weather conditions, so dress accordingly during the cooler months. Arriving before 10am gives you the best selection before items sell out.
Most vendors accept cash, though some now offer mobile payment options. The relaxed atmosphere reflects Celanova's small-town character, where shopping often includes chatting with vendors about their products.
