Markets in Vigo
Pontevedra, Galicia
Vigo market options span 10 venues across the city, split between six permanent covered markets and four weekly outdoor markets. Vigo's position as Galicia's largest city and one of Spain's most active fishing ports shapes what you'll find on the stalls: fresh seafood from the Ría de Vigo, local cheese and dairy, Galician bread, and produce from the surrounding countryside sit alongside clothing, jewellery, handicrafts, and books. All markets run on weekly schedules, so it's worth checking which day works for your visit.

Where to stay in Vigo
Staying in the city centre puts you within easy walking distance of Vigo's main markets, so that's the obvious base. Centro has plenty of hotels at different price points, and you'll find the Mercado do Berbés and other key spots just a short stroll away.
If you want something a bit more comfortable, Gran Hotel Nagari Boutique & Spa is a solid central option, and Hotel Rías Bajas is another reliable choice close to the action. Either way, you won't need a car to get around.

Travesas Market and Cabral Market are among the largest covered markets in Vigo, each with 25 stalls. Travesas, located in the Coia neighbourhood, is one of the most complete, selling fresh vegetables, meat and poultry, bread and pastries, cheese and dairy, and jewellery — an unusual combination that makes it worth a dedicated visit.

Teis Market and Progreso Market are also 25-stall indoor markets with a similar core range of fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. Progreso Market is particularly well known locally and draws searches under several names including "Mercado do Progreso Vigo." You can find official details on Vigo's municipal markets on the Vigo city council website.

Bouzas Street Market is the largest outdoor market in the city, with 25 stalls selling clothing, footwear, handicrafts, and jewellery every week. Coia Street Market also runs weekly with 25 stalls and a slightly different mix: clothing, footwear, handicrafts, and books, making it a good option if you're after second-hand reading material alongside everyday goods.
The Second-hand and Craft Market in the Casco Viejo (old town) is a weekly outdoor market focused on clothing, footwear, books, and handicrafts, with a character shaped by its historic surroundings. Mercadillo de la Calle Londres rounds out the street market offer with handicrafts and prepared foods, though its stall count has not been confirmed.
What can you buy at Vigo's fish market?
Several of Vigo's municipal markets sell fresh fish and seafood, including Cabral Market, Teis Market, Progreso Market, and Vigo Market. The selection reflects Vigo's role as one of Spain's busiest fishing ports, with seafood landed daily from the Ría de Vigo.
Is there a street market in the old town of Vigo?
Yes. The Second-hand and Craft Market in the Casco Viejo runs weekly outdoors in Vigo's historic centre, with stalls selling clothing, footwear, books, and handicrafts.
If you're exploring the wider region, the markets in Pontevedra city and Cangas are easy day trips from Vigo and worth combining with a visit to the Pontevedra province market scene.
