Around 40 stalls spread across the street and into Praza Martín Gómez Abal, making it one of the main market days in this Rías Baixas port town. The Tuesday market traces its roots back to 1744, when Felipe V granted the town a royal trading privilege. Bring cash, as most stalls don't accept cards.
