Street markets in Pedrafita do Cebreiro
All four of Pedrafita do Cebreiro's street markets run outdoors, weekly or fortnightly, and split between cheese fairs, a cattle fair and a clothing market.
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 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.
