Market square of Santiago de Compostela, Traditional marketplace in Santiago de Compostela, Spain
The market spans eight granite buildings arranged in two parallel rows, displaying local produce, fresh seafood, meats, and regional specialties.
Established in 1873, the market replaced various scattered food stalls across Santiago de Compostela to centralize the city's food distribution system.
Local farmers and fishermen gather daily to sell their products, maintaining centuries-old trading traditions and offering regional delicacies from Galicia.
The market operates Monday through Saturday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with peak shopping activity occurring during morning hours.

Discover a selection of points of interest in Santiago de Compostela, bringing together religious, historical and cultural sites. This city in northwestern Spain offers much more than the endpoint of the famous pilgrimage route that bears its name: a 12th-century Romanesque cathedral, a medieval center with cobbled streets, a traditional market from 1873, Baroque monasteries and 19th-century parks make up its architectural and urban heritage. The Cathedral of Santiago dominates the old town with its Romanesque structure and Baroque Obradoiro façade. The medieval quarter extends around the Plaza del Obradoiro with buildings from different periods, including the 16th-century Hostal de los Reyes Católicos. The Mercado de Abastos has offered regional Galician products since 1873. The Monastery of San Martiño Pinario displays 17th-century Baroque architecture, while the Parque de la Alameda from the 19th century provides walking paths and viewpoints over the old town. The Collegiate Church of Santa María del Sar preserves Romanesque elements from the 12th century. These locations document the city's development from the Middle Ages to modern times.
