Street markets in Castro de Rei
The Castro de Rei Market is the most general of the three, with stalls covering clothing, handicrafts and prepared foods. It runs weekly outdoors and is a good starting point if you want a broad cross-section of local goods in one place.
The Castro Ribeiras de Lea Fair adds footwear to the mix alongside clothing, handicrafts and prepared foods, making it the most varied of the three markets in terms of product categories. Like the others, it takes place outdoors on a weekly basis.
The Castro de Rei Livestock and Food Market has a more specialist focus, catering to agricultural and food buyers rather than general shoppers. If you are visiting from elsewhere in Lugo, this market gives a genuine sense of the working rural economy of the region.
