Carballo Fair
The Carballo Fair is one of the most important regular events for street vendors in the Bergantiños region, in the province of A Coruña. The Carballo Fair takes place in the downtown area of the regional capital of Bergantiños, featuring stalls selling textiles, footwear, farm implements, nursery plants, and the full range of produce from the Bergantiños vegetable gardens, including the famous Bergantiños potatoes, which are protected by a Geographical Indication. Alongside traditional commerce, the Carballo Fair maintains the livestock tradition inherited from Galicia’s old monthly fairs, featuring a regular presence of poultry, rabbits, and producers of cheese from A Capela and honey from the Costa da Morte. It is a must-see for anyone who wants to discover the rural flavors of Bergantiños and understand Carballo’s historical role as the commercial heart of northwestern A Coruña.

Get to Know the Market
A little background
arballo, the historic capital of the Bergantiños region, has held regular fairs since the 18th century, when the town began to establish itself as the commercial center of a region primarily devoted to agriculture and livestock. The Carballo Fair soon became the main commercial event in Bergantiños, held monthly and attracting farmers, artisans, and livestock dealers from all over the Costa da Morte.
During the 20th century, the Carballo Fair adapted to the decline of traditional livestock farming, with textiles and household goods gaining prominence, although stalls selling farm implements and poultry still remain. Today, it is organized by the Carballo City Council at intervals established by municipal ordinance, and it remains a key event on A Coruña’s commercial calendar—an essential stop for discovering the fresh produce and handicrafts of Bergantiños.
