Where to stay in Pedrafita do Cebreiro

Street markets in Pedrafita do Cebreiro
The Cebreiro Cheese Fair and the O Cebreiro DOP Cheese Fair are the two standout markets here, both held outdoors and both specialising in local cheese and dairy alongside handicrafts. The DOP fair also includes organic produce and prepared foods, making it the more complete of the two for visitors looking to shop for ingredients or ready-to-eat local products.
The Cattle Fair is a weekly outdoor market focused on prepared foods, reflecting the agricultural character of this part of Lugo. It offers a more traditional, workaday atmosphere compared to the cheese fairs.
The Pedrafita do Cebreiro Fortnightly Market rounds out the offer with a focus on clothing. Despite its name, it is listed on a weekly schedule, so it is worth checking locally before making a special trip.
