Markets in Cangas de Onis
Asturias, Asturias
Cangas de Onís markets give visitors two distinct open-air experiences, from a large weekly general market to a dedicated craft and ecological market, both running outdoors in this Asturian town at the gateway to the Picos de Europa. The town is a popular base for exploring the wider Asturias region, and its markets reflect the strong local food culture, with cheese and dairy appearing across both.

Where to stay in Cangas de Onis
Staying in the town centre puts you within easy walking distance of the weekly market and the famous Roman bridge. Try Town Centre for easy access to everything on foot, or look at Parador de Cangas de Onís if you want a memorable stay in a converted monastery just outside town.
If you prefer something smaller and more personal, rural guesthouses along the Sella river valley are a good option, especially if you're also planning to visit Covadonga or the Picos de Europa.

Street markets in Cangas de Onis
The Cangas de Onís Sunday Market is the larger of the two, with around 200 stalls spread across the town each week. Traders sell fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and a good selection of local cheeses and dairy products, making it a practical stop for self-catering visitors or anyone wanting to pick up regional food to take home.
The Cangas de Onís Craft and Ecological Market runs weekly on a separate day and operates on a much smaller scale with roughly 20 stalls. Its focus is on handicrafts, organic produce, prepared foods, and local cheeses and dairy, appealing to shoppers looking for artisan goods rather than everyday groceries. If you are travelling through nearby Llanes or other towns in eastern Asturias, it is worth timing a stop in Cangas to catch one of these markets.
Planning your visit
Both markets are held outdoors, so weather is worth checking before you go. The official Cangas de Onís tourism site lists local events and can help with broader visit planning, including access to the Covadonga sanctuary and surrounding national park.
