Markets in Viveiro

All three of Viveiro's markets are street markets, and they open at 09:00 and pack up by around 14:00. Between them they cover Thursday and Sunday, with one weekly market whose day the town has not confirmed. The biggest is the Viveiro Weekly Market, around 25 stalls set up indoors at Praza Maior on Thursday mornings, which makes it a practical choice in wet Galician weather. It has wheelchair access and parking nearby.

The food side runs to fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood landed on the Cantabrian coast, cheese and dairy, and bread and pastries from local bakers. The other two markets are smaller and non-food: one sells handmade goods, the other clothing, textiles, footwear and leather.

For more weekly markets in the area, Ribadeo and Mondoñedo both hold regular markets within reach of Viveiro. Further details about the town are available on the Concello de Viveiro website.
