A Cañiza Municipal Market

A Cañiza sits in the Paradanta valley between Vigo and Ourense, and it's known locally as the capital of ham in Galicia. The municipal market reflects that food-loving culture, with stalls stocking quality local produce alongside everyday essentials. It's a working neighbourhood market, which means you get a genuine feel for what people in this corner of Galicia eat day to day.

The market is fully wheelchair accessible and accepts both cash and card. For more markets in the area, see all markets across Pontevedra province.

The 15 stalls cover fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, and freshly baked bread. Galician fish and seafood are a highlight, and you'll find locally sourced cheese and bread worth picking up alongside your regular shop.

A Cañiza is a small town, so your best bet is to stay close to the town centre where you can easily walk to the municipal market and the local shops. Town Centre puts you right in the middle of things without any fuss.
