Markets in Oviedo

Markets in Oviedo centre around the historic El Fontán area in the old quarter. The 19th-century cast-iron and glass market hall, designed by architect Javier Aguirre Iturralde in 1885, is the main spot for fresh produce, seafood, cheese, and prepared foods. Just outside, the open-air Fontán street market fills the surrounding plazas on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays with clothing, antiques, and books.

Asturias is known for its dairy, cider, and seafood, and El Fontán reflects that. You'll find local cheeses like Cabrales and Afuega'l Pitu alongside fresh fish from the Cantabrian coast. The Oviedo tourism office has more details on exploring the Fontán district.

If you're spending time in Asturias, markets in Gijón are a 30-minute drive away.
