Street markets in Sanxenxo
The Portonovo Street Market is the regular weekly fixture in the area, running every Monday and Thursday from 9:00 am with around 45 outdoor stalls. You can pick up fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers and plants, and clothing and textiles. The site near the municipal swimming pool is wheelchair accessible and accepts both cash and mobile payments.
The Portonovo Summer Market is the larger of the two, with 75 stalls focused on handicrafts, jewellery and clothing. It runs weekly during the summer season, making it a worthwhile stop if you are visiting the coast between June and September. Nearby, O Grove also holds its own market days if you want to combine a trip along the Rías Baixas.
Planning your visit
Both Sanxenxo markets are outdoors, so it is worth checking conditions before you go, particularly for the summer market which draws larger crowds.
