Planning your visit
All three markets are held weekly and entirely outdoors, so checking the weather before you go is worthwhile, particularly in the wetter months. Lena sits in central Asturias, and visitors travelling along the corridor between Oviedo and Mieres will find the town easy to reach by road or rail. For official local information, the Ayuntamiento de Lena website is the best starting point for confirming exact market locations and any schedule changes.
