Praza de Abastos Municipal Market
The main indoor market in Cangas, built in 1940, with 25 stalls selling fresh Galician seafood, fish, meat, and local produce. Open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 2pm.
Praza de Abastos Municipal Market is Cangas' main indoor market, open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 2pm at Paseo de Castelao 4. Built in 1940 and extended in 1984 with a dedicated fish hall, its 25 stalls are the go-to source for fresh Galician seafood, meat, and produce in Cangas. The fish section occupies the centre of the ground floor, with meat and poultry stalls arranged around the perimeter.
What to buy
Fresh fish and shellfish are the main draw. Sitting right on the Ría de Vigo, the catches here are genuinely day-fresh. Beyond the fish hall, you'll find meat, poultry, fruit, vegetables, cheese, and bread. It's a working market used by locals for their daily and weekly shop, not a tourist attraction, which keeps prices competitive and the produce quality high.
