Street markets in Ponteareas
Saturday is the day to come. Two of the five markets have a confirmed Saturday slot, the rest open around 10:00 and pack up by 14:00, and three have no fixed day recorded, so it is worth checking locally before travelling for anything other than the main mercadillo. The full list, with locations and days, is on the street markets page.
Between them the stalls cover clothing, footwear, books and handicrafts, while fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and organic products are sold at the town's ecological fair rather than at the general market. Stalls are cash only, so bring euros, and arriving before 10:00 gives the best pick of stock. The Galicia tourism board lists the market in its official directory.
What day is the mercadillo in Ponteareas?

Where is the market in Ponteareas located?
Ponteareas Street Market sets up on Praza Maior and Praza Bugallal, two central squares a short walk from each other in the middle of town. All five of the town's markets trade outdoors rather than in a covered hall, so there is no single market building to look for.
How many markets are there in Ponteareas?
Ponteareas has five markets, all of them outdoor street markets, with no covered municipal market in the town. The largest is Ponteareas Street Market, with 25 stalls. The others include an ecological fair selling organic produce and a Christmas market that runs seasonally rather than week to week.
What can you buy at the market in Ponteareas?
Clothing, footwear, books and handicrafts fill most of the stalls at Ponteareas Street Market, the town's 25-stall Saturday mercadillo. Fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and organic products are sold at the separate ecological fair instead, so you will need two trips if you want both sides of the town's trading.
