Mondoñedo Medieval Market

Mondoñedo Medieval Market sets up across the Plaza da Catedral and the streets around it in Mondoñedo, Lugo, with 200 stalls trading Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 2pm. It is a seasonal market rather than a year-round one, running from May to September, so check the calendar before making the trip. It is one of the street markets in Mondoñedo.

What you'll find at Mondoñedo Medieval Market

Handicrafts account for most of the 200 stalls, laid out along the cathedral square and the lanes running off it. Expect artisan work in the market's medieval theme rather than the clothing and household goods a weekly street market would carry.

Prepared food stalls trade alongside them, selling ready-to-eat dishes you can carry round the square. The whole market is outdoors, with no indoor hall to retreat into, so dress for the weather Galicia gives you that weekend.
