Street markets in Lourenzá
The Lourenzá Rural Fair Market is the most comprehensive of the four, bringing together fresh vegetables, meat and poultry, clothing, footwear, and prepared foods in a single outdoor event. It offers the broadest selection for anyone wanting a full market experience in one visit.
The Lourenzá Bean Market focuses specifically on fresh vegetables and is a good reflection of the agricultural tradition of the area. The Faba de Lourenzá, a white bean with protected designation of origin status, is strongly associated with this town, making the market a genuinely local affair worth seeking out.
The Lourenzá Christmas Market shifts toward handicrafts, clothing, and prepared foods, giving it a more seasonal and artisan character compared to the other three. It runs weekly outdoors and is a good opportunity to find handmade goods alongside local food products.
The Lourenzá Horse Fair rounds out the four markets and has a long-standing rural tradition in the region. Exact stall counts for all four markets are not confirmed, so arriving early is advisable to get a full sense of what each one offers.
Planning your visit
Lourenzá sits in the Lugo province, which has a wider network of markets worth exploring if you are travelling through the area.

For official local information, the Concello de Lourenzá is the best starting point for confirming current market dates and any seasonal changes.
