Street markets in Facinas
The Facinas Tuesday Market is the larger of the two street markets, running weekly with around 50 outdoor stalls focused mainly on clothing. It is the biggest market in the village by stall count and worth timing your visit around if you are after everyday goods and local atmosphere.
The Facinas Craft Market of the Elders runs weekly outdoors and specialises in handicrafts. Stall numbers are not fixed, but it offers a good opportunity to pick up locally made items. Both street markets bring a little extra activity to the village on their respective days.
