Vigo has put something unusual in its car parks. Could the rest of Spain be next?

Vigo, a city in Galicia, Spain, has introduced a unique twist on traditional vending machines by installing 19 machines in eight of its car parks, offering frozen seafood for purchase. The machines, operated by Vigo-based company Welgood Technologies, dispense frozen seafood such as langostinos and king prawn tails, eliminating the need to drive to a supermarket or fishmonger during dinner hours.

Prices for the seafood range from €14.10 to €20.60, and customers can pay with a card. The company is also working on integrating product purchases and stock reservations into its mobile app, allowing customers to reserve items before arriving at the car park. While the seafood machines are currently exclusive to Vigo, the concept of placing useful products in car parks has the potential to expand nationwide.
