Travesas Market

Travesas Market (Mercado das Travesas) is an indoor municipal market in the Coia neighbourhood of Vigo. It sits near Plaza de América, where the Coia, Freixeiro, and Castrelos neighbourhoods converge, making it the natural shopping hub for this busy part of the city. With 25 stalls and long hours, it's one of the more practical options among the municipal markets in Vigo. The market opens Monday to Thursday from 8:45am and Friday and Saturday from 8:30am, closing at 9:30pm every day it's open. It's closed on Sundays.

Following a renovation, the market now includes an on-site supermarket, so you can cover a full weekly shop in one visit. Contactless and mobile payments are accepted alongside cash. You can find more about what's on offer on the Vigo tourism website.
