Feira Internacional de Galicia ABANCA

Feira Internacional de Galicia ABANCA is the main exhibition and congress venue in Galicia and one of the largest fairgrounds in north‑western Spain, combining trade shows, public fairs and professional congresses under a single institutional umbrella. Located in Silleda, in the geographic centre of Galicia and about 35 km from Santiago de Compostela airport, the venue was inaugurated in 1996 as an international‑category exhibition park serving an influence area of roughly 10 million people across the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula.

The fairground extends over approximately 428,000 m², with 55,000 m² of exhibition space and a central building of over 7,000 m², allowing it to host large‑scale multi‑sector events and simultaneous activities. The institution is closely linked to the non‑profit Fundación Semana Verde de Galicia, created in 1991 and recognised as being of Galician interest, which promotes fairs and events that drive rural and regional development.

Over time, Feira Internacional de Galicia ABANCA has diversified from its agricultural and livestock origins into sectors such as food and hospitality, forestry and environment, industry and technology, sports and leisure, packaging and logistics, and services. Its portfolio includes major fairs like Semana Verde de Galicia, thematic shows such as forestry and agri‑food exhibitions, as well as a steady calendar of congresses, conventions and corporate events supported by a modern congress centre.

Positioned as a commercial bridge between Europe and the Americas, the organisation offers exhibitors access to Galician, Spanish and Portuguese markets, while visitors benefit from a comprehensive service offering, including modular stand build, furniture and ancillary services procured centrally by the foundation. With purpose‑built infrastructure, a dedicated team and public‑interest governance, Feira Internacional de Galicia ABANCA provides a stable, professionally managed platform for business generation, knowledge exchange and promotion of Galicia’s key productive sectors.
