Where to stay in Ribadeo
Staying in Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the weekly market and the waterfront, which makes getting around on foot very straightforward. The Parador de Ribadeo is a great choice if you want a comfortable base with views over the Eo estuary.
If you prefer something smaller and more low-key, there are good guesthouses and hotels along the main streets near the plaza that keep you close to where the action is. Arriving the night before market day is always a smart move in a town this size.
Tours & Activities in Ribadeo
Street markets in Ribadeo
The Ribadeo Street Market is the town's main clothing and handicrafts market, held outdoors each week with stalls dedicated to footwear, textiles, and locally made goods. It is a practical stop for everyday shopping as well as browsing craftwork.
The Sunday Market of Ribadeo draws visitors specifically for its fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, organic produce, and prepared foods, making it one of the few markets in the area with a dedicated organic offer. If you are in town on a Sunday morning, this is the market best suited to stocking up on local seasonal produce and ready-to-eat food.
The Cancer Association Second-Hand Market of Ribadeo operates weekly as a charity market focused on antiques and second-hand items, with proceeds supporting cancer research. It is a quieter, more specialist market but worth a look for anyone interested in vintage finds while contributing to a good cause.
For other markets along this stretch of coast, Viveiro and Foz both have their own weekly street markets worth combining with a visit to Ribadeo. The official tourism site at turismoribadeo.gal has further practical information on the town.
