Staying in the City Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the main markets and plenty of cafés for a coffee before you browse. The old town area around Ferrol Vello is a good pick if you want to be close to the harbour and the city's older market streets.

Tours & Activities in Ferrol
Municipal markets in Ferrol
The Magdalena Market is Ferrol's main covered food hall, located on Rúa Igrexa opposite the Cathedral of San Julián. Its 25 indoor stalls specialise in the kind of produce Galicia is known for: fresh fish and seafood from the Atlantic coast, meat and poultry, fruit and vegetables, and local cheeses including Tetilla. Because it operates year-round indoors, it is the most reliable option whatever the weather.
Street markets in Ferrol
The Ferrol Street Market is the largest outdoor market in the city, with around 40 stalls selling clothing, footwear, prepared foods, handicrafts, and books. It runs weekly and is the best option if you are looking for non-food goods or something to browse rather than a focused grocery shop.
The Ferrol Monthly Fair runs weekly outdoors and focuses on food, with stalls covering fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. The Caranza Monthly Market also operates weekly and outdoors, with a tighter selection of clothing, footwear, and fresh produce. Together, these three street markets mean that fresh food and general goods are available on multiple days throughout the week across different parts of the city.
