Get to Know the Market
A little background
he Monte Alto municipal market was built in the 1980s on a municipally-owned vacant lot in the neighborhood. In addition to the fish and meat stalls typical of a food market, it included retail spaces from the outset, many of which were accessible from outside the building.
Between 2022 and 2025, the City of A Coruña undertook a comprehensive renovation of the market. It is located on Forcarei Street, in the heart of Monte Alto, and is part of the city’s network of municipal markets.
