About San Telmo Market

This small covered market serves the everyday shopping needs of Mugardos locals. The town sits on the Ferrol estuary and is well known across Galicia for its octopus dish, pulpo á mugardesa, so fish and seafood are central to what you'll find here. The stalls reflect the coastal character of the area, with produce coming from both land and sea.

Where to stay in Mugardos

Mugardos is a small fishing town, so accommodation options are limited, but staying close to the waterfront puts you right in the heart of things. Try Town Centre or look across the estuary in nearby Ferrol, which has a much wider selection of hotels and is just a short ferry ride away.

If you want to stay local, Harbour Area keeps you within easy walking distance of the San Telmo Market and the seafood restaurants along the quay. Booking ahead is a good idea, especially on market days when rooms in the area fill up quickly.
