Betanzos Street Market
The Betanzos Market is one of the most traditional weekly events in the province of A Coruña, with centuries of history behind it. The Betanzos Market is held in the historic center of Betanzos dos Cabaleiros, among stalls selling textiles, footwear, household goods, and food, and serves as a regional gathering place for residents of the Mariñas region of A Coruña who come down to town on market day. Alongside the street stalls, the Betanzos Market coexists with the food market and the taverns serving the famous Betanzos tortilla, one of the hallmarks of modern Galician cuisine. Strolling through its arcades in the morning mist, past the stone plaques of the old noble houses, offers a glimpse into the commercial essence of Galicia’s markets and is a must-see for anyone visiting the Mariñas region.

Get to Know the Market
A little background
he origins of the Betanzos Market date back to the “Feria Franca” privilege granted by King Henry IV of Castile in 1467, which established the town as one of the principal commercial centers of the Kingdom of Galicia. For centuries, Betanzos served as the commercial hub of the Mariñas region of A Coruña, hosting a weekly market attended by farmers, artisans, and merchants from across the region.
Today’s Betanzos Market continues to serve this regional function, although in recent decades stalls selling livestock and farm implements have given way to textiles, footwear, and seasonal products. It is held weekly in the historic district, which has been designated a Historic-Artistic Site, and remains an economic and social barometer for the town—an essential stop for discovering traditional commerce in A Coruña.
