Traditional Thursday market in Celanova's Plaza Mayor with authentic pulpeiras serving octopus

Every Thursday morning, Celanova's main square transforms into a bustling traditional market where locals shop for fresh produce, clothing, and household items. The highlight is the authentic pulpeiras (octopus vendors) serving traditional Galician octopus with cachelos and paprika right in the market - this is where real Galician market culture comes alive.

Highlights

  • Authentic pulpeiras serving traditional Galician octopus
  • Mix of local producers and merchants from Portugal and other Galician areas
  • Large variety of fresh produce, clothing, and household items
  • Vibrant social atmosphere with people from many surrounding towns

Good to Know

  • Bring cash - many vendors don't accept cards
  • Drinks in the octopus tent can be expensive (€18 for 3 beers, water, bread)
  • Busy market - arrive early to avoid crowds
