Pontevedra Municipal Market

About Pontevedra Municipal Market

Pontevedra Municipal Market operates Monday through Saturday from 8am to 3pm at the northeastern edge of the historic center. The market sits alongside the Lérez river, close to the Burgo Bridge.

The current building opened in October 2003 after a complete renovation of the original 1948 structure. Reviewers mention the market houses Pontevedra's official fish auction where daily catches are sold to vendors and restaurants.

Vendors organize across two floors with vegetables and fruits upstairs, meat and fish downstairs. No fresh fish is available on Mondays, though fruit, vegetable and flower stalls remain open.

Underground parking serves the market with 208 spaces. The restaurant area on the upper floor opened in 2019 and has views over the Lérez river.

Visitors report you can purchase ingredients from market stalls and have them cooked for 3 euros per dish. The market includes a customer re-weighing scale for verifying purchases.

Bar Olmos opens earliest at 6am for coffee before the main market vendors arrive. Online shopping became available through ponteabastos.com in October 2020.
