Markets in the Province of Ourense
Galicia, Spain · 23 markets across 10 cities
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.

13 of the 23 markets have a confirmed trading day. The other 10 do not, so their day is not something this site can state, and it is worth checking with the town hall before you drive out for one of them. Each market's own page carries what is known about it. For the wider picture, the Galicia region page covers Ourense alongside the coastal provinces.
