Markets in Sarria
Lugo, Galicia · 5 markets tracked
Markets in Sarria draw on a livestock trading tradition that dates back to the 14th century, when cattle fairs first took hold at the Campo da Feira fairground. Five markets trade here across the week, one municipal and four on the street, and between them they cover antiques, clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, handicrafts, meat and poultry, and prepared foods. Sarria sits in Lugo province, and its market scene reflects the rural Galician character of the inland countryside around it.

Where to stay in Sarria
Sarria is a small town, so staying central is the smart move. Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the weekly market and the main shops along Rúa Maior. The Hotel Alfonso IX is a solid, well-located option that regulars tend to return to.
If you prefer something quieter, Hotel Roma sits just off the main drag and offers good value for a short stay. Sarria is also a popular stop on the Camino de Santiago, so book ahead if you're visiting on market day.

Market days in Sarria
There is a market trading in Sarria on every day of the week. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday each carry two, Monday, Tuesday and Sunday one apiece, so the middle and end of the week are the fuller half. Two of the five markets have no confirmed fixed day on record, which is worth knowing before you build a trip around one of them: checking with the Sarria tourism office is the most reliable way to plan around a specific market.
If you are exploring the wider area, Monforte de Lemos to the south has its own market scene worth combining with a visit to Sarria.
Municipal markets in Sarria
Sarria's single municipal market is a livestock market, which makes it an unusual one by Spanish standards: the trade here is meat and poultry rather than the fish counters and greengrocers you would find under a covered market hall elsewhere. It works out of the Campo da Feira site, the same fairground the town's cattle fairs have used for centuries, and it is the most distinctive thing on the town's market calendar. Full details are on the municipal markets page.
Street markets in Sarria
The four street markets are the everyday side of shopping in Sarria, and they are small: the largest sets up around 15 stalls. That size shapes what they sell. Clothing, footwear and handicrafts carry the practical end, while a separate antiques fair pulls browsers looking for secondhand finds and artisan work rather than new retail.
None of these are all-day affairs. The usual pattern is a 9am start and a 2pm finish, so a market morning in Sarria is genuinely a morning. The full list, with days and locations, is on the street markets page.
