Where to stay in Santiago de Compostela
Staying in the Casco Histórico puts you right at the heart of things, with the market stalls and the cathedral just a short walk from your door. The Parador de Santiago de Compostela is a landmark choice if you want something special, while the Hotel Monumento San Francisco offers a quieter but equally central base.

Street markets in Santiago de Compostela
The largest of the city's markets is Salgueiriños Street Market, with 25 stalls selling clothing, footwear, handicrafts, and books. It is the go-to market for browsing affordable everyday fashion and picking up a book or local craft item as a souvenir.
The Amio Market focuses on food, with stalls covering fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, seafood, and cheese and dairy. It is a practical choice for self-catering visitors or anyone wanting to sample the regional produce that Galicia is known for.
For something more specialist, the Franco Street Antiques Market draws collectors looking for curios and vintage pieces, while the Hippy Market offers handmade jewellery, crafts, clothing, and footwear with a more artisan character. The Nadal Market rounds out the food offer with fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, and bread and pastries sold under cover. The Rural Cattle Fair (Feira do Gando) is the most distinctive of the six, a traditional weekly fair centred on meat and poultry that reflects the agricultural heritage of the surrounding Galician countryside.
