Municipal Markets in Galicia

Galicia's municipal markets reflect the region's deep connection to the Atlantic and its fertile countryside.

These covered food halls serve as daily gathering points where locals purchase the freshest seafood, from percebes to octopus, alongside regional specialities like Padrón peppers and Tetilla cheese. Markets in Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, and Vigo showcase the autonomous community's culinary heritage through their permanent stalls.

Galician market culture emphasises quality and seasonality, with vendors maintaining relationships built over generations. The morning hours bring the most significant activity as families shop for ingredients that define northwestern Spanish cuisine.
