Where to stay in A Pontenova
A Pontenova is a small town, so your options are limited but perfectly manageable. Staying in town centre puts you close to everything on foot, which makes market days much easier. For a comfortable base, the Hotel Parga is a reliable choice that locals and visitors alike tend to use.
If you don't mind being a short drive away, the surrounding Eo-Navia valley has some rural guesthouses worth considering. But for convenience, keeping yourself central is the smart move, especially if you're coming just for the market.

Street markets in A Pontenova
The Feira da Pontenova is the town's main weekly market, running outdoors with stalls selling fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, cheese and dairy, clothing, and footwear. It is the practical choice for locals stocking up on food and everyday goods, and the fresh produce section is a good reflection of the agricultural character of this part of inland Galicia.
The Feira de Artesanía e Antigüidades da Pontenova takes a very different approach, focusing entirely on handicrafts and antiques. Running weekly and also held outdoors, it draws browsers looking for locally made craft items and second-hand finds, and sits comfortably alongside the wider craft traditions of the region. If you are visiting from a nearby town such as Ribadeo or Vilalba, combining a trip to both markets on the same day is straightforward given they share the same town.
Planning your visit
Both markets are held outdoors, so weather is worth factoring in before you travel. The official tourism information for the municipality can be found via the Concello de A Pontenova, which lists current dates and any seasonal schedule changes.
