Teis Market (Mercado de Teis) is a covered indoor market serving the Teis neighbourhood of Vigo. With 25 stalls, it opens Monday to Saturday from 7am to 2:30pm and is closed on Sundays. The market has its roots in the 1940s and began as a fish-only trading post, reflecting Teis's long history as a maritime district on the Ría de Vigo. Today it carries a full range of daily produce alongside the fish and seafood that remain its main draw.

Fish and seafood are the centrepiece here, with fresh catch from the Ría de Vigo arriving in the morning. You'll also find stalls with meat and poultry, fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese and dairy, and bread from local bakeries. It's a practical everyday market with the kind of range that keeps the neighbourhood coming back. Cash, contactless, and mobile payments are all accepted.

Where to stay in Vigo
Teis is a residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of Vigo, so staying closer to the city centre puts you in a better position for exploring the wider area. Centro keeps you within easy reach of good transport links and plenty of places to eat after the market. If you want something with more comfort, Gran Hotel Nagari Boutique & Spa is a reliable central option that regularly gets strong reviews.
For a mid-range stay with good access to the bay and the old town, Casco Vello is worth considering, with a mix of small hotels and guesthouses that suit a short visit well.
