The large influx of visitors to the “Virgen de la Barca” Festival has transformed Muxía into an authentic open-air market, a tradition that dates back to early times. Even the famous poetess Rosalía de Castro, in her verses, referred to the multitude of stalls where all kinds of products could be purchased.
With the passage of time, and especially after the creation of the new port of Muxía in the 80s, the space allocated to these facilities has grown exponentially. Today, the Malecon and the streets surrounding the harbour bustle with a vibrant mix of stalls and attractions, creating an unrivalled festive atmosphere.
Here, between the sea breeze and the celebratory atmosphere, you will find a diversity of products that go beyond the traditional. The food stalls, with their tempting aromas, are interspersed with others where you can buy clothes, footwear, accessories, local crafts and fresh farm produce. This explosion of commercial activity not only enriches the visitor’s experience but also underlines the importance of the “Virgen de la Barca” festival as a powerful driver of the local economy.
Come and let yourself be carried away by the energy of our market, where every purchase is a souvenir and every stall an opportunity to discover the richness of Muxía.
