Where to stay in Castrillon
Castrillon is a coastal municipality spread across several towns, so staying in Piedras Blancas, the main urban centre, puts you closest to local services and makes getting around easy. Try Piedras Blancas for a central base, or look at options in nearby Salinas if you want to be close to the beach between market visits.
If you prefer more comfort and amenities, the surrounding area of Avilés is just a short drive away and offers a broader choice of accommodation. Avilés works well as a base if you plan to explore markets across the wider Asturias region too.

Street markets in Castrillon
The Raíces Ecological and Craft Market is the larger of Castrillon's two street markets, running weekly with 12 stalls. It focuses on organic produce, fresh fruit and vegetables, bread and pastries, and handicrafts, making it a reliable stop if you are looking for locally made or certified organic goods. The mix of food and craft stalls gives it a distinct character compared to a standard produce market.
The Piedras Blancas Weekly Market is the other regular street market in Castrillon, also held weekly on an outdoor site. It carries fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and clothing, covering the everyday essentials that local shoppers tend to rely on. Stall numbers for this market are not currently confirmed, but it runs on a consistent weekly schedule.
Both markets sit within the wider context of Asturian market culture. If you are exploring the region, the Asturias province page has details on markets across the area, and nearby towns such as Avilés and Gijón also have their own regular markets worth combining with a trip to Castrillon.
