The Mercado Municipal de Abastos, also known as the Praza de Abastos or Mercado de Quiroga Ballesteros, is Lugo's main public market and a lively center for local commerce. The current building, located on Praza de Santo Domingo, replaced an earlier structure from 1906. This historic market is a hub where visitors can immerse themselves in daily city life and discover authentic Galician produce. Within its stalls, one can find a wide array of fresh, locally sourced products, including meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, regional cheeses, homemade licor de café (coffee liqueur), tetilla cheese, and delicious Galician empanadas.
