Street Markets in Ferrol
A Coruña, Galicia · 3 street markets
Street markets in Ferrol trade on four days of the week: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. They set up around 9am and are packed away by about 2pm, so a market here is a morning errand rather than an afternoon one. The biggest of the three is the Ferrol Street Market, with roughly 40 stalls, which is the one to aim for if you want fresh produce and clothing in a single walk. Locally you'll see them signposted as mercadillos. For the covered halls that trade the rest of the week, see municipal markets in Ferrol, or all markets in Ferrol for both types on one page.

What's on the stalls
Between them the three markets cover fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and prepared foods, which is the half worth arriving early for. The non-food side is just as large: clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, flowers and plants, handicrafts, books and magazines, and antiques. No single day carries all of it, since only one market trades on each of the four days.

Tips for visiting
Get there before 10am if you want the produce stalls at their best, and carry cash, as card acceptance varies from one trader to the next. Traders begin breaking down ahead of the 2pm close, so a late arrival means a thinner choice rather than a full market.
Where to stay in Ferrol
Stay central and you can walk to every one of the city's street markets before they open. City Centre puts you within a few minutes of the main pitches and the cafés that open early enough for a coffee first, and the Parador de Ferrol is the central option if you would rather book a specific hotel. No car is needed for a 9am start from either.
