We don't like it. The place was very dirty and had no structure to accommodate tourists. On a rainy day it is impossible for you to accommodate yourself because the few spaces with accommodation are conditioned on you using the restaurant, that is, if I want to eat something that is not from a restaurant within the market corridor, I have to eat standing up! The experience wasn't cool. We went with high expectations but were disappointed. A feather .

The few stalls that were open seemed like carts to us. 18€ a small plate of octopus and 20€ a slightly larger one, but it also had no quantity. There was a stall where for €9 you cook fish and seafood that you can buy at the stalls, because the man who was there was an edge when my husband came to ask how it works.

Original, authentic. You buy the seafood directly at the stall, and they prepare it for you there, oysters 2 euros, 8 scallops 10 euros, scallops 2.5 euros, mussels, crayfish, they sell you cans of beer, and you look outside for a space to drink it. We also saw a place where they give you wine and you bring the food.

If you go to Santiago, it is essential to visit this food market, very close to its famous cathedral. Apart from the place, which in itself is worth seeing, it has a wide variety of stalls with local products from the land. There are also areas set up to buy products and they will cook it for you right there for a fee. Also very pleasant treatment. We will return for sure!!

I passed by on a Saturday morning and the market was in full swing.
The possibility of buying and then having it cooked directly there is fantastic. I bought two medium necoras (crabs) for 7 euros and with 1.5 euros they cooked them for me..

Extensive fresh food market with 8 food corridors/buildings. Food displayed is obviously very fresh. One of the corridors is dedicated to sit down lunch crowd. Food at the tables in the sit down area is very good and comes out very fast - very reasonable prices. Also, there are many high quality restaurants within a few blocks of the market.

Just a few minute's walk from the Cathedral, the Mercado de Abastos is Santiago's food market and it's version of Barcelona's La Boqueria Market. Here, you can find colorful displays of typical grocery items, from fish, vegetables, and meats (raw and cured), to homemade cheeses, wines, liquor, and arts and crafts.
We visited during carnival season, so all cuts and parts of pork were in display, including the head, as this is the season for "laconada," a typical Galician dish consisting of potatoes, turnip greens, chorizo, and pork, including bacon and often the pork's ear.
I've heard that you can buy percebes (gooseneck barnacles) or other seafood and take it to a stand where they will cook it so you can eat it right away, but we did not have the time to try it.
Our foray was quick, under 30 mins. So we definitely want to come back for more.

Small but well stocked with all Galician products, from fish to cheese. Excellent prices and never high despite the influx of tourists can generate the desire to raise them. Great balance and kindness in everyone.

It is a traditional market, like those of supplies of all cities, but the structure of the market is, like everything in Santiago, a monument of precious stone. The sides and the central courtyard are full of stalls of meat, fish, flowers and typical products. In the central part of the market, goods stalls have been replaced by small restaurants and cafeterias. It's overflowing, but if you book or are lucky enough to find a table early, you'll have hit 100%

We went to eat at the Abastos market, and by one it was all full, but a gentleman from ship five gave us Reservation for both. Where we ate, ship five, included four restaurants over there. We order barnacles, cockles, volandeiras, octopus from Feria and many more things. Value for money amazing.
