Weekly Thursday market with around 25 stalls selling fresh Galician seafood, produce, cheese, bread, and clothing in Praza Maior.
Viveiro Weekly Market, known locally as the Feirón and as the mercadillo de Viveiro in Spanish, sets up every Thursday from 9am to 1pm in Praza Maior, the historic main square of this coastal town in Lugo. Around 25 stalls sell fresh seafood, fruit, vegetables, cheese, bakery goods and clothing, and both cash and cards are accepted. It is one of several markets in Viveiro. Get there early, as stalls start packing up well before 1pm.
What you'll find at Viveiro Weekly Market
Fresh fish and seafood from the Cantabrian coast sit alongside fruit, vegetables, and dairy from the Mariña Lucense region. You'll also find local cheese, fresh bread, and a handful of clothing and textile stalls. It's a compact market that covers everyday essentials rather than artisan or tourist goods.
Where to stay in Viveiro
Viveiro is a small town, so staying central is the smartest move. The old town area puts you within easy walking distance of the weekly market and the main squares. Try Casco Histórico for a convenient base with good access to everything.
If you prefer something with views of the estuary, look for accommodation along the waterfront. Hotel Ego is a well-regarded option a short drive from the centre and worth checking for availability.

What day is Viveiro Weekly Market?
Viveiro Weekly Market runs every Thursday from 9am to 1pm in Praza Maior, once a week all year. Traders begin packing up before the 1pm close, so the morning is the time to come. If a public holiday falls on a Thursday, the market sometimes moves to Wednesday, so check locally before making a special trip.
What can you buy at Viveiro Weekly Market?
Viveiro Weekly Market's 25 stalls sell fish and seafood, fruit and vegetables, cheese and dairy, bread and bakery goods, and clothing and textiles. The seafood comes off the Cantabrian coast and the produce from the surrounding Mariña Lucense, so it reads as a market for everyday shopping rather than souvenirs.
Where is Viveiro Weekly Market?
Viveiro Weekly Market is at Praza Maior, 1D, 27850 Viveiro, the main square of the old town on the Lugo coast. It's walkable from anywhere in the centre, with public parking nearby for those arriving by car, public toilets on hand, and step-free wheelchair access across the square.
Do I need cash at Viveiro Weekly Market?
Viveiro Weekly Market takes both cash and cards, which is unusual for a Galician street market. Card acceptance still varies from one stall to the next, so carry some cash for smaller purchases from the fish and produce traders in Praza Maior.
