Markets in Maceda
Ourense, Galicia
Maceda markets give visitors two distinct outdoor street experiences, both running on a weekly schedule in this small Galician town in the province of Ourense. One focuses on clothing and handicrafts, while the other leans into food and local tradition, so the two complement each other well.

Where to stay in Maceda
Maceda is a small town, so your best bet is to stay centrally near Town Centre, where you can easily reach the local market on foot. The surrounding rural area also has some good casa rural options if you prefer a quieter base in the Galician countryside.
If you want more choice for accommodation and restaurants, consider staying in nearby Ourense and making the short drive into Maceda for market day. It gives you the best of both, with a lively city to return to in the evening.

Street markets in Maceda
The Maceda Fair-Market is an outdoor weekly market where stalls sell clothing and handicrafts. It is a good starting point if you are looking for locally made goods or everyday wear without travelling to a larger town.
The Maceda Medieval Fair and Market takes a different character, with stalls offering handicrafts alongside prepared foods and meat and poultry. The medieval theme gives it a more festive atmosphere, and the food offer makes it worth planning a longer visit around.
Planning your visit
Both markets are held outdoors, so checking the weather before you go is worthwhile, particularly in the wetter months. Maceda sits within easy reach of Xinzo de Limia and Allariz, both of which have their own market days if you want to combine trips.
