Markets in Redondela

Redondela is a small town, so your best bet is staying right in the Town Centre, where you can walk to the markets and the local shops with ease. The town is also well connected by train, so some visitors choose to base themselves in nearby Vigo and make the short trip in.

If you'd prefer to stay local, look for guesthouses and small hotels along the main streets near the viaducts, as these put you close to everything without any fuss.

The town's biggest market runs 200 stalls, which is a lot for a place of Redondela's size and puts it closer in scale to a provincial fair than to a village mercadillo. The other two are much smaller, one at around 30 stalls and one with no confirmed count, and they serve everyday shopping rather than a day out.

All three are recorded as weekly, but none of them carries a confirmed trading day, so treat the listings below as a guide and check locally before making a special trip.

Redondela has three markets, all of them outdoor street markets, and all three trade within the same municipality on the Vigo estuary. The largest carries 200 stalls, another runs at around 30, and the third serves the Chapela neighbourhood with no confirmed stall count recorded.

Redondela's three street markets are all listed as weekly, but none of them carries a confirmed trading day, so check locally before you travel. The town hall's tourism site publishes market and fair dates for the municipality, and it is the safest source to use if you are planning the trip around a market.

Redondela's street markets sell clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and prepared foods. The 200-stall market is the one to aim for if you want the full spread across all seven categories, while the smaller markets concentrate on clothing, footwear and fresh produce.

No, Redondela has no covered municipal market hall. All three of the town's markets are outdoor street markets, including the 200-stall one, so trading is exposed to Galician weather and stalls pack up early in the rain. Anything you buy in Redondela comes from an open-air stall rather than a permanent market building.
