Where to stay in Arzúa

Arzúa is a small town on the Camino de Santiago, so most accommodation is geared towards pilgrims and visitors passing through. Staying in the town centre puts you close to the market action and within easy walking distance of the local shops and cafés.

For a comfortable base, Hotel Suiza is a reliable option right in the heart of town. If you prefer something quieter, look for rural guesthouses just outside the centre, many of which offer easy access back into town for market days.

Street markets in Arzúa

The Arzúa Biweekly Market runs weekly outdoors, with stalls set up in the street selling fresh vegetables, cheese and dairy, meat and poultry, and bread and pastries, alongside clothing. It is a genuinely local market rather than a tourist-oriented one, so you can expect everyday prices and produce sourced from the surrounding Galician countryside. Arzúa is particularly noted for its cheese, and the market is a reliable place to pick up the local tetilla or arzúa-ulloa variety.

If you are travelling along the A Coruña province section of the Camino, combining a market visit with your stage through town is straightforward. Nearby Melide and Santiago de Compostela also hold regular markets and are worth checking if you want a wider selection of stalls or additional market days during your trip.
