Markets in Ortigueira
A Coruña, Galicia
Markets in Ortigueira give this small coastal town in northern A Coruña province a surprisingly varied market calendar across four outdoor events. The markets cover everything from clothing and handicrafts to organic produce, fresh vegetables, and seasonal prepared foods.
Ortigueira sits on the Ría de Ortigueira and is widely known for its International Festival of the Celtic World, which brings its own dedicated craft fair to the town each year. That cultural character runs through the market scene more broadly, with handicrafts appearing at three of the four markets.

Street markets in Ortigueira
The Ortigueira Street Market is the town's main weekly gathering, running every Thursday morning with around 25 stalls set up outdoors. Stalls focus on clothing, footwear, and handicrafts, and the market is cash-based and wheelchair accessible.
The Ortigueira Celtic Festival Craft Fair takes place outdoors on a weekly basis and leans heavily into handmade goods, with stalls selling jewellery, handicrafts, and footwear. The exact stall count varies, but the fair draws a strong crowd during the festival period.
The Ortigueira Christmas Market offers a seasonal weekly outdoor market with a distinct mix of handicrafts, prepared foods, bread and pastries, and books, making it one of the more varied markets in the calendar. It is the best option for edible gifts and locally made goods in the winter months.
The Ortigueira Summer Market runs weekly with around 10 stalls and is the town's only organic and eco market, selling organic produce, fresh vegetables, prepared foods, and handicrafts. If locally grown food is a priority, this is the market to plan around.
For markets along the northern Galician coast, Cedeira and Ferrol both hold regular weekly markets within reasonable driving distance.
