Markets in Sanxenxo
2 markets tracked in Sanxenxo.
Every market in Sanxenxo sets up in the same district, which makes planning simple: both of the town's open-air markets trade at Portonovo, a few minutes from the seafront. Between them they cover seven days a week in high season, with up to 75 stalls at the peak.
Sanxenxo sits on the Rías Baixas coast in Pontevedra province, and the crowd is a mix of residents shopping for the week and holidaymakers walking up from the beach. Monday and Thursday are the busiest days, with both markets trading. Sunday is the quietest, with one open.

Street markets in Sanxenxo
The weekly fixture is the Portonovo street market, which runs every Monday and Thursday with around 45 outdoor stalls. It is a mixed mercadillo: fresh fruit and vegetables, flowers and plants, and clothing and textiles. The site beside the municipal swimming pool is wheelchair accessible, and stalls take both cash and mobile payments.
The summer market is the larger of the two, with 75 stalls weighted towards handicrafts, jewellery and clothing rather than food. It trades daily through the season from 11:00 until close to midnight, so it works as an after-dinner walk rather than a morning shop.
