One of Vigo's most famous covered markets, Mercado Progreso has been trading in the Ensanche since 1908 with 43 stalls, 19 fishmongers, and long hours until 9:30pm.
Mercado Progreso is one of Vigo's oldest and most central covered markets, trading from its Ensanche location since 1908. The indoor market at Rúa do Progreso 28 spreads across two levels with 43 stalls, including 19 fishmongers stocked daily from the Ría de Vigo. It opens Monday to Saturday from 8am to 9:30pm, making it one of the few municipal markets in Vigo with evening hours convenient for after-work shopping. A supermarket sits on the upper level, and an underground car park with two levels runs beneath the building.
What to buy
The fish counter is the market's standout feature: 19 fishmongers carry fresh percebas, mejillones, merluza, and rodaballo landed from the Ría de Vigo. Alongside the seafood you'll find 5 butcher shops, 3 delicatessens stocked with local cheeses and cured meats, and a bakery with fresh bread baked on site. Two tapas bars, a restaurant, and a cafeteria inside mean you can eat on the spot rather than carrying everything home.
Where to stay in Vigo
Staying in the city centre puts you within easy walking distance of Progreso Market and Vigo's main shopping streets. NH Collection Vigo is a solid choice right in the heart of things, and Gran Hotel Nagari Boutique & Spa offers a more upscale stay just a short stroll from the market.
If you prefer a neighbourhood feel, Casco Vello is Vigo's old town and a great base, with plenty of cafes and bars to explore after a morning browsing the stalls.
