** National Cattle Market
Galicia is a traditional stockbreeding region, which explains the great importance of cattle markets in its history and traditions.
Devoted to the buying and selling of all kinds of livestock, Santiago’s cattle market is the most important in Galicia and one of the most important in Spain and Europe. It is of interest due to its ancestral, rural nature, based on traditional trade or direct deals. Apart from livestock, it also sells agricultural products, farming implements and tools, including traditional baskets.
On market days, there are “pulpeiras” (stalls selling octopus), as is traditionally the case at Galician markets, as well as a cafeteria-restaurant.

Recommended: Nearby is the Parque Empresarial Costa Vella, featuring the Leroy Merlin and Decathlon hypermarkets, and a lot more.
