Carballo Municipal Market

Mercado Municipal de Carballo is the town's main covered food market, on Rúa Cervantes in central Carballo, A Coruña. Open Monday to Friday from 8am to 2pm and Saturday mornings from 8:30am, it gives you six chances a week to pick up fresh fish, meat, vegetables, cheese and bread from 15 stalls.

About Carballo Municipal Market

The market building dates from 1969, designed by architect Ramón Tenreiro Brochón, and was fully restored and reopened in 2010. It is Carballo's principal municipal market, serving the local community with all the daily food essentials.

Everything trades under one roof, so the weather makes no difference to a visit, and the hall is wheelchair accessible. The stalls take cash and mobile payments. Every day ends at 2pm, which makes this a morning errand rather than an afternoon one, and the only day it does not open is Sunday. To check a stall or a delivery before setting out, the market's number is +34 981 700 310.

What to buy at Carballo Municipal Market

The 15 stalls cover all the essentials. Fresh fish and seafood from the nearby Costa da Morte coast is the standout, alongside meat and poultry, seasonal fruit and vegetables, Galician cheeses, dairy products and freshly baked bread.

You buy counter by counter here rather than from one till, which is the difference between this and the supermarkets on the main road. Six trading days a week means you do not have to plan around a single market morning, as you would at the town's street markets.
