Where to stay in Vilalba
Vilalba is a small town, so staying central is the best move. Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the weekly market and the main square, making it simple to browse without worrying about transport.
If you prefer a hotel with a bit of character, Parador de Vilalba is a strong choice, a converted medieval tower that's one of the most distinctive places to stay in the whole of Galicia. It's just a short walk into town, so you won't miss anything.

Street markets in Vilalba
The Vilalba Tuesday and Friday Market runs twice weekly and focuses on clothing, footwear, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruit. It is a practical, everyday market held outdoors, making it a reliable stop for locals and visitors mid-week or at the end of the working week.
The Vilalba Monthly Fair is a separate outdoor market held on a weekly basis and carries a broader range of food products, including meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruit, alongside clothing stalls. Its combination of food and non-food goods makes it the more varied of the two markets in the town.
For wider market options in the region, Lugo province has a number of towns with their own regular markets. Nearby Mondoñedo and Guitiriz are worth checking if you are planning a longer visit to the area.
Planning your visit
Both markets in Vilalba are held outdoors, so weather conditions are worth considering before travelling. Arriving early generally gives you access to the best selection of fresh produce.
