Mercado de la Plaza de Lugo
Mercado Municipal da Praza de Lugo
The city's largest municipal market, with rows of seafood stalls offering Galician goose barnacles, spider crab and a variety of shellfish.
The Mercado de la Plaza de Lugo is A Coruña's largest municipal market. Most of the ground floor is seafood stalls, where you'll find goose barnacles (percebes), spider crab, lobster, scallops and whatever the day's catch brings in, at prices lower than restaurants. The upper floor has meat, cheese, fruit and vegetable stalls. Some stalls have small counters beside them where you can eat on the spot, and there are also dining bars inside the market. The market is busiest from 9 to 13 in the morning and is closed on Sundays. It sits in the city-centre shopping district, about a 10-minute walk from Riazor Beach.
Opening hours
Mon–Sat 8 am–3 pm (some stalls open in the evening on Fridays); closed Sundays
