Markets in Luarca
Asturias, Asturias · 5 markets tracked
Mercadillo de Luarca is the local name for the five weekly street markets in this fishing town on the western Asturian coast. All of them set up outdoors and all trade in the morning, usually 9am to 2pm, across Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
Luarca sits where the River Negro meets the Cantabrian Sea, and the centre is compact enough to combine a market morning with a walk around the old harbour quarter. The Asturias tourism website has practical visitor information, and our markets across Asturias page covers the wider province.

Where to stay in Luarca
Luarca is a small fishing town, so staying close to the old quarter puts you within walking distance of everything, market pitches included. Try Old Town for the most convenient base, or look at options along the seafront if you want a bit more atmosphere.
For a comfortable stay with good access to the market area, Hotel Rural Villa La Argentina is a well-regarded choice. Booking early is wise if you are visiting on a market weekend.

Street markets in Luarca
All five of the town's markets are street markets, set up in the open rather than inside a covered hall. The largest is the Luarca Summer Market, with 17 stalls and the broadest mix of anything in town: handicrafts, jewellery, organic produce and prepared foods in a single stop. The rest run smaller and more specialised.
Fish and seafood are the thread running through the town's market trade, as you would expect of a working fishing port. Clothing and textiles, jewellery, organic products and prepared foods fill out the rest. Day by day detail, with stall counts, is on the street markets in Luarca page.
