Second-hand and Craft Market - Casco Viejo

Four things, and no food. Pre-owned clothing and textiles are the bulk of it, with second-hand footwear and leather goods on the same stalls or beside them.

Second-hand books and magazines make up the third category, and handicrafts the fourth, which is the part that is new rather than used. It is a market to browse rather than one to shop a list at, so give yourself time to work through the racks and boxes.

Staying in the old town puts you right on the doorstep of the market, and Casco Vello has plenty of small hotels and guesthouses to choose from. The Hotel Galicia Palace is a solid central option if you want something more comfortable, with easy walking distance to the market streets.

If you prefer to be close to the waterfront, Centro gives you good access to the old quarter while keeping you near the city's main transport links and restaurants.

The market sets up in the Casco Viejo, the district in central Vigo, and there is no single street address on record for the pitch. The official page is the place to check for the day and the exact spot before you go. Vigo's other markets, including its covered ones, are listed on the city's markets page.
