Medieval Fair of A Coruña

Street Market A Coruña, A Coruña, Galicia

Updated 26 November 2025 Verified information

Annual medieval fair in A Coruña's Old Town each July, with around 200 artisan and food stalls, live performances, and medieval entertainment.

The Medieval Fair of A Coruña, known locally as the Feira das Marabillas, sets up every July in the Old Town around Praza Xeneral Azcárraga in A Coruña. The fair runs for five consecutive days, typically from 11:00 to midnight, with around 200 stalls lining the cobbled streets. It traces its roots to the Feira Franca granted by the Catholic Monarchs in 1501 to help the city recover after a devastating fire. Bring cash, as most stalls don't accept cards.

What you'll find

The stalls split between artisan crafts and traditional food. On the craft side you'll find leather goods, pottery, textiles, silver jewellery, and handmade metalwork. Food stalls serve roasted meats, traditional breads, Galician cheeses, honey sweets, and local wine. There's also a dedicated food court area with seating, so you can settle in and eat while watching the entertainment.

Live performances run throughout the fair. Jugglers, minstrels, fire shows, and street theatre fill the squares, and stall holders dress in period costume. Falconry displays, mock tournaments, and medieval music concerts round out the programme. It's one of the biggest street fairs in A Coruña and draws crowds from across Galicia.
