Markets in Sarria
Lugo, Galicia
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. Today the town runs five weekly markets across indoor and outdoor settings, covering everything from antiques and handicrafts to meat and poultry. Sarria is part of Lugo province, and its market scene reflects the rural Galician character of the region.

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.
Tours & Activities in Sarria
Market days in Sarria
All five markets run on weekly schedules, which means most days of the week have at least one market operating somewhere in town. The APA Huellas market runs on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, while the Gandeiro livestock market runs Monday to Saturday mornings. The antiques, traditional, and San Isidro fairs each occupy their own day, so checking the current schedule through the Sarria tourism office before visiting is the most reliable way to plan around specific markets.
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
The Gandeiro Sarria Livestock Market is the town's only indoor market and its most historically rooted. It operates from the Campo da Feira site on a weekly schedule, with stalls focused on meat and poultry. For anyone interested in the working agricultural life of inland Galicia, this is the most distinctive stop in Sarria.
Street markets in Sarria
The APA Huellas de Sarria Market is the largest street market in town, with around 15 stalls setting up outdoors each week on Rúa Da Liberdade. It specialises in clothing, handicrafts, and footwear, making it the main option for practical shopping among the street markets.
The San Lázaro Antiques Fair runs weekly outdoors and focuses on antiques and handicrafts, offering a different character from the clothing-led APA market. It attracts browsers looking for secondhand finds and artisan goods rather than new retail.
The Gando Traditional Fair is a weekly outdoor market with a prepared foods focus, useful for picking up local produce and ready-to-eat items. The San Isidro Labrador Fair also runs weekly outdoors and rounds out the street market calendar, giving Sarria four separate street market days each week.
