Municipal markets in Carballo
The Mercado Municipal de Carballo is the town's main food market, housed in an indoor hall on Rúa Cervantes with around 15 stalls. The building dates from 1969, designed by architect Ramón Tenreiro Brochón, and was fully restored and reopened in 2010. Stalls cover fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy, making it a practical one-stop for household food shopping. It opens Monday to Saturday, with morning hours from 8am on weekdays and 8:30am on Saturdays.
Street markets in Carballo
The Carballo Opportunities Fair is the town's weekly street market, running outdoors with 26 stalls. Unlike the municipal market, it focuses entirely on clothing and footwear rather than fresh produce. It is the largest of Carballo's two markets by stall count and draws shoppers looking for affordable fashion and everyday wear.
