Foz Weekly Market

Foz Weekly Market sets up every Tuesday morning at the Dársena, the harbour area of Foz, and is packed away again by early afternoon. Known locally as the Mercadillo Semanal de Foz, it trades from 9am to 1pm with 150 stalls, a substantial morning for a town this size, and it is listed with the other street markets in Foz.

What you'll find at Foz Weekly Market

Fish and seafood stalls are the market's centre of gravity, as you would expect of a working fishing harbour. Around them sit fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and bread and bakery stalls.

The rest of the 150 pitches are non-food: clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, flowers and plants, and prepared foods. It is all outdoors on the quayside, with no indoor hall to retreat into.

How to get to Foz Weekly Market

The market occupies the Dársena, so head for the waterfront rather than the town's main square. The Galician tourism board's official page carries its listing. Foz is on the northern coast of Lugo.
