Open-air market every Tuesday and Saturday with around 40 stalls selling clothing, handicrafts, footwear, and flowers on Rúa Alexandre Bóveda.
Vilagarcía de Arousa Street Market sets up every Tuesday and Saturday from 8am to 2pm on Rúa Alexandre Bóveda in Vilagarcía de Arousa. Around 40 stalls run the length of the street and into Praza Martín Gómez Abal, making it one of the main market days in this Rías Baixas port town and one of the town's street markets. The Tuesday market traces its roots back to 1744, when Felipe V granted the town a royal trading privilege. Bring cash, as the stalls do not take cards.
What you'll find at Vilagarcía de Arousa Street Market
Stalls cover clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, handicrafts, and flowers and plants. It is a general market rather than a produce market, so come for a jacket, a pair of shoes or a tray of plants rather than the week's shopping.
Where to stay in Vilagarcía de Arousa
Staying in the town centre puts you within easy walking distance of the street market and the waterfront. The Hotel Ejecutivo Playa is a solid choice close to the action, and the Hotel La Terraza offers a comfortable base with good local connections.
