Street trading here is modest. The larger of the two outdoor markets runs on Monday and Thursday with four stalls of clothing and handicrafts, enough for a browse on the way past rather than a trip in its own right. The second is a fortnightly fair whose day is not confirmed in our records, and it carries the wider mix of the two, adding fresh produce, meat and fish to the clothing stalls. The Monforte de Lemos town hall is the place to check before travelling for it.
If you are moving through the province of Lugo, the markets in Sarria are within easy reach and combine well with a market day here.

The covered market is the larger half of the picture, with 25 indoor stalls carrying fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, and bread. It trades across the working week rather than on a single morning, which makes it the dependable option when the weather in the valley turns, and the obvious first stop if you are shopping for a meal rather than browsing.
