Street markets in Viveiro
The Viveiro Weekly Market is the town's largest, with around 25 stalls set up indoors at Praza Maior every Thursday morning from 09:00. Stalls cover fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and seafood landed on the Cantabrian coast, cheese, dairy, and bread and pastries from local bakers. The indoor setting makes it a practical choice in wet Galician weather, and the market has wheelchair access and nearby parking.
The Viveiro Craft Fair is an outdoor weekly market focused on handmade goods, offering a different character from the food-led Thursday market. It is a smaller event with no fixed stall count on record, but worth checking if you are in town on the relevant day.
The Viveiro Textile Market rounds out the weekly offer with outdoor stalls selling clothing and footwear. Like the Craft Fair, exact stall numbers are not confirmed, but it runs on a weekly schedule alongside the other two markets.
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.
