Markets in Asturias

Spain · 95 markets across 1 provinces

95 markets across 1 provinces Verified information

Asturias has 95 markets across 31 towns and cities, and 91 of them are street markets: they set up in a square or along a street in the morning and are packed away by mid-afternoon. The other four are municipal market halls, which keep their own longer trading schedules. Most open 09:00 to 14:00.

Weekends carry most of the trade. Saturday is the busiest day by a distance, with 49 markets running, and Sunday is not far behind at 37. That Sunday figure is what separates Asturias from much of Spain, where Sunday trading thins out sharply, and it means a weekend in the region gives you real choice rather than one option.

One thing to check before you set out: 14 of the 95 markets have no confirmed trading day in our records, so 81 do. Each market's own page carries the day and hours we hold for it.

Market days across Asturias

If you are travelling midweek, Wednesday is the day to aim for, with 17 markets trading. Tuesday follows with 14, Friday with 13 and Thursday with 12. Monday is the quietest, at 11. No weekday comes close to Saturday's 49, but no weekday is empty either. Several towns run more than one market a week, which is why the daily figures add up to more than 95.

Where the markets are concentrated

Asturias is a single-province region, so all 95 markets sit under one provincial listing, and they are spread across 31 towns and cities rather than gathered in the two big ones. Oviedo has six and Gijon four, which puts them behind Llanes on seven. Only four of the 95 are municipal market halls, so almost everywhere you go the market will be a street market setting up for the morning. The town listings are the quickest way to find the one closest to where you are staying.

Which day has the most markets in Asturias?

Saturday, with 49 of the 95 markets in Asturias trading, against 37 on a Sunday. Wednesday is the busiest weekday at 17, followed by Tuesday at 14, and Monday is the quietest at 11. Every weekday has at least 11 markets trading somewhere in the region.

Is there a Sunday market in Asturias?

Yes, 37 of the 95 markets in Asturias trade on a Sunday, second only to Saturday's 49. That is unusually high for Spain, where Sunday trading is normally the thinnest of the week. Most open at 09:00 and pack up by 14:00, so a Sunday visit means an early start.

What time do markets in Asturias open?

Markets in Asturias most commonly open at 09:00 and close at 14:00, so a visit here is a morning rather than an afternoon. That window covers the 91 street markets; the four municipal market halls in the region keep longer hours. Each market's own page lists the times we hold for it.

Which town in Asturias has the most markets?

Llanes has the most, with seven of the region's 95 markets. Oviedo, Villaviciosa and Vegadeo follow with six each, then Luarca and Salinas with five, and Aviles, Gijon and Llanera with four. The counts fall away gently from there, so no single town dominates the 31 that hold markets.

Is there a market somewhere in Asturias every day?

Yes, Asturias has a market trading somewhere every day of the week. Monday is the quietest, with 11 markets, and the count climbs through the week to Wednesday's 17 before weekends take over: 49 markets on Saturday and 37 on Sunday. Several towns run more than one market week to week, which keeps every weekday covered somewhere in the region.

Do all 95 markets have a confirmed trading day?

No, 81 of Asturias's 95 markets have a confirmed trading day and 14 do not. Those 14 are still listed, but without a day recorded there is no schedule to plan around, so it is worth checking the individual market's own page, or contacting it directly, before building a morning trip around one.
