There are a variety of large supermarkets around Nigrán, all selling local and international products. You can also find small, locally run grocery shops selling fruit and vegetables, basic household items and some have small cheese and meat counters.
Along the back of the beaches you can wander around the little souvenir shops selling knick-knacks and other beach items.

Walking Trails
As well as outstanding coastline, Nigrán is home to the Mirador de Monteferro where there are a number of attractive hiking routes through pine forests with spectacular views of the Cies Islands and across the bay of Baiona.
It is possible to walk from Nigrán to Baiona, the coastal town known for the arrival of Christopher Coloumbus after discovering the ‘New World’ aboard his ship The Pinta. You will cross the Roman bridge at Ramallosa on this walk which is known as the ‘Puente Romantico’ and is an excellent place for taking some photographs of the beautiful landscape surrounding the river.
