Markets in the Province of Ourense

Galicia, Spain · 23 markets across 10 cities

23 markets across 10 cities Verified information

Ourense province has 23 markets across 10 towns, and if you only have one morning to spare, make it a Saturday: 8 of them trade that day, more than any other. Sunday is next with 6, Monday and Thursday have 4 each, and Friday is the quietest trading day in the province with 2.

The usual hours are 09:00 to 14:00, the most common pattern across the province, so a market morning here really is a morning. Aim to arrive before noon rather than at one o'clock, when the tables start coming down.

Ribadavia and the city of Ourense each have 4 markets, the most of any town covered here, with Allariz and Verín on 3 apiece. Between them those four places account for more than half the province's total, which makes them the sensible bases if you want to fit in two markets over a weekend. The rest are spread thinly, one or two to a town.
