Snabba fakta: More than 50 stalls offer fresh fish arriving directly from the nearby port of Rianxo and vegetables harvested from family gardens in the surrounding area. It has been operating since 1929, but the buzz of shopping and conversations keeps the same lively rhythm of decades past.
Höjdpunkter: What few people know is that some stalls keep recipes passed down through three generations, such as polvo à feira prepared on the spot with sweet paprika. It is one of the few places where vendors and local chefs mingle, exchanging tips on the best seafood of the season while you taste a fresh oyster at the counter.
Insidertips
- Order an oyster or an octopus tapa at the O'Gato stall, where the family prepares it in front of you using a 50-year-old recipe.
- Go Monday through Thursday to avoid the weekend lines, when the market is crowded with Spanish tourists.
- Bring a reusable bag to carry cheeses, cured meats, and rye bread for an impromptu picnic.
- Talk to the vendors in Galician or Spanish; they love giving tips on how to prepare each ingredient.

Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Santiago de Compostela, Spain, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
