Tours & Activities in Monforte de Lemos
Municipal markets in Monforte de Lemos
Monforte de Lemos Market Square is the town's main market, with 25 indoor stalls operating on a weekly basis. The covered setting makes it a reliable option regardless of weather, and the stall count means a decent spread of products including fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. It is the largest and most complete market in town, and the obvious starting point for anyone shopping for fresh food. The Monforte de Lemos town hall provides further details on opening arrangements.
Street markets in Monforte de Lemos
The Monforte de Lemos Street Market is the smaller of the two outdoor markets, with 4 stalls selling clothing and handicrafts. It runs weekly and suits a quick browse rather than a dedicated shopping trip, but it adds something beyond the municipal offer if you happen to be in town on the right day.
The Monforte de Lemos Fortnightly Fair is the town's second street market and has a broader product range than its name might suggest, covering fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and clothing. Stall numbers for this market are not confirmed, but the product mix makes it the more practical of the two street options for everyday shopping.
If you are travelling through the province of Lugo, the markets in Sarria are within easy reach and worth combining with a visit to Monforte de Lemos on a market day.
