Where to stay in Allariz
Allariz is a small town, so your best bet is to stay right in the Casco Histórico, where you can walk to the market and the river in minutes. The Hotel Vila de Allariz is a solid, comfortable option right in the heart of things.
If you prefer a quieter spot just outside the old town, there are rural guesthouses along the Arnoia river that make a lovely base, especially if you're visiting for the weekend market.

Street markets in Allariz
The Allariz Biosphere Reserve Market is the most distinctive of the three, selling organic produce, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, flowers and plants, and locally made handicrafts. Its name reflects the town's Biosphere Reserve status, and it draws shoppers looking for certified or eco-friendly goods grown and produced in the surrounding area.
The Allariz Antiques Market specialises in antiques and handicrafts, making it the right stop for anyone interested in secondhand finds or locally crafted items. It runs weekly outdoors, so checking the day before travelling is worthwhile, particularly in wet weather.
The Allariz Weekly Market covers more practical day-to-day needs, with stalls selling clothing, footwear, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and meat and poultry. It is the broadest general market of the three and likely the busiest for regular local shoppers.
Planning your visit
All three markets are held outdoors, so carrying a bag and dressing for the weather is sensible. Allariz sits within easy reach of other market towns in Galicia; nearby Xinzo de Limia and Celanova also hold regular street markets if you want to combine visits. For official local information, the Concello de Allariz website carries current event and market listings.
