Where to stay in Gijon
Staying in the Centro puts you within easy walking distance of the main markets and the old fishermen's quarter of Cimadevilla. The Hotel Hernán Cortés is a reliable central option, and the Parador de Gijón sits right by the San Lorenzo beach if you want a bit more comfort after a morning of market browsing.
Tours & Activities in Gijon
Municipal markets in Gijon
The South Market (Mercado del Sur) is the main municipal venue, located on Plaza Seis de Agosto in the city centre. Its 35 stalls cover all the essentials: fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. It opens Monday to Saturday mornings and is the most convenient starting point for anyone visiting the centre.
La Camocha Municipal Market serves the southern outskirts of Gijon with 25 stalls offering a similar range of produce, including fresh fish, meat, and local cheeses. It runs on a weekly schedule and is more oriented towards neighbourhood shoppers than visitors, but worth knowing about if you are staying in that part of the city.
Street markets in Gijon
The Gijón Flea Market is the largest street market in the city by some margin, with around 300 stalls spread across an outdoor site. It runs weekly and mixes fresh fruit and vegetables with clothing, secondhand books, and cheese and dairy, making it as much a browsing destination as a food market.
The Gijón Craft and Organic Market is the place to go if organic produce is a priority. Stall numbers vary, but the focus is consistent: organic fruit and vegetables alongside handmade crafts and local handicrafts. It also runs weekly and is one of the few explicitly eco-oriented markets in the area.
If you are planning a broader trip through the region, Oviedo and Avilés both have their own market scenes within 30 km. For general visitor information, the Gijón tourism website covers opening times and local events.
