What the stalls sell

Clothing and textiles take up the most ground across the town's mercadillos, with footwear and leather goods close behind. Between those you'll find bread and bakery stalls, flowers and plants, handicrafts, and prepared foods to eat as you walk. It is the standard Galician weekly-market mix: a rail of trousers, a tray of empanada, a bucket of cut flowers, one after the other along the same row.

Tips for visiting

Come before 11am. Stallholders start packing towards the 2pm close, and the clothing and footwear rails are picked over well before that. Carry cash, since card acceptance varies from one stall to the next. Two of the three street markets here trade on dates that are not fixed to a single weekday, so check the individual market's page before making a special trip. Other towns on the Ría de Arousa run their own markets on different days, listed on the province page.
