Tips for visiting
The market is busiest in the early morning, so arrive by 10am for the best selection. Bring a bag or basket for your shopping, and bring cash as not all stallholders accept cards. Saturday is the quietest trading day if you'd rather browse without the crowds. The market is a short walk from Ferrol's waterfront, so you can easily combine a visit with exploring the old town. See all markets in this city for the full picture, or the A Coruña province page for markets further afield.
Where to stay in Ferrol
Most visitors base themselves in the City Centre, within easy walking distance of Magdalena Market and plenty of cafés for a coffee before you browse. If you'd rather be close to the harbour and the city's older market streets, the old town around Ferrol Vello is a good pick. The hall opens early and closes mid-afternoon, so a night nearby means you can be at the counters as soon as the doors open.

What time does Magdalena Market open?
