Markets in Santiago de Compostela
A Coruña, Galicia · 6 markets tracked
Markets in Santiago de Compostela come down to six weekly street markets, all of them outdoor and none of them listed as trading on a Sunday. Between them they sell fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and bread and bakery, alongside antiques, books, handicrafts, jewellery, clothing and footwear. Most open at 9am and pack up by 2pm, so a morning visit is the only one that works.

Market days in Santiago de Compostela
Wednesday is the busiest day, with three of the six markets trading. Thursday has two, and Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday each have one. Nothing is listed for Sunday, and two of the six have no confirmed day in our records, so check those listings before making a special trip.
Opening hours are consistent across the city at 9am to 2pm, which means the best fish and produce is picked over well before noon. Arrive by 10am and you get the full choice.
Street markets in Santiago de Compostela
Every market listed on this page is a street market, set up in the open and cleared away the same day. The largest is Salgueiriños Street Market, with 25 stalls, and it is the one to head for if you want scale rather than a handful of trestles. The rest are smaller, and each has its own character: some are food-led, some lean towards crafts and second-hand goods, and one is a working rural fair rather than a shopping trip.
That mix is what makes the city worth more than one morning. A food market and an antiques market on different days are two different errands, and the produce stalls are where you will find the Galician seafood, cheese and seasonal vegetables the region is known for.
