The Campo da Feira site has hosted livestock fairs since the 14th century. The current market continues that tradition with regular morning sessions for cattle trading.

The facility is purpose-built for livestock handling and includes a wheelchair-accessible entrance. Payment is by cash only.
What to buy at Gandeiro Sarria Livestock Market
