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.

Market days in Ribadeo
Ribadeo's confirmed market days are Wednesday and Sunday, with one street market trading on each. Both keep the same 9am to 2pm hours, so either day works equally well for a morning in the town. The third of the three runs weekly but carries no confirmed day on the record, so Wednesday and Sunday are the two to plan around.
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.
Street markets in Ribadeo
All three of the town's markets are open-air street markets rather than permanent halls, and between them they split neatly into two halves. On the food side you'll find fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, organic products and prepared foods; on the other, clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, handicrafts and antiques. Day, location and stall detail for each are listed on the Ribadeo street markets page.
Hours are consistent across the town: stalls open at 9am and are clearing by around 2pm, so a market visit in Ribadeo is a morning errand rather than an afternoon outing. Produce sellers tend to be packing up first, which is worth knowing if you were planning to shop for food and browse the antiques in the same trip.
What day is the market in Ribadeo?
Ribadeo's street markets trade on Wednesday and Sunday, one market on each day, both running from 9am to around 2pm. The town's third street market runs weekly but has no confirmed day on the record, so check locally before making a special trip for that one rather than turning up on spec.
What time do markets in Ribadeo open?
Markets in Ribadeo open at 9am and pack up by around 2pm, and that pattern holds across all three of the town's street markets. Stalls are at their fullest in the first couple of hours, and the fresh produce sellers usually start clearing a good while before the official closing time.
Are there markets open on a Sunday in Ribadeo?
Yes, one of Ribadeo's three street markets trades on Sunday, running from 9am to 2pm with fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, organic products and prepared foods among the stalls. The town's other confirmed market day is Wednesday, so a weekend visit and a midweek one will not put you in front of the same traders.
What can you buy at the markets in Ribadeo?
Ribadeo's three street markets sell fresh fruit and vegetables, organic products and prepared foods alongside clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, handicrafts and antiques. The produce and organic stalls are the reason to arrive at 9am; the antiques are what keep people browsing once the food shopping is done.
Does Ribadeo have a covered municipal market?
No, all three markets listed for Ribadeo are open-air street markets rather than a covered plaza de abastos. They trade weekly on Wednesday and Sunday from 9am to 2pm, which means there is no permanent indoor food hall to shop at in the town between those two market mornings.
