Markets in Ribadesella
Asturias, Asturias · 3 markets tracked
The mercadillo Ribadesella scene runs to three outdoor street markets, all of them within the town and all of them morning trade: stalls are usually up by 9am and packed away by 2pm. Two run weekly through the year and a third operates seasonally, so what is on the pavement in August is not quite what is there in February.

Street markets in Ribadesella
The biggest of the three sets up 80 stalls, a substantial market for a town this size, and it is the one to aim for if you want a full food shop: fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy from Asturian producers, and bread and pastries. A smaller weekly market concentrates on organic produce and handicrafts, and the seasonal one leans towards clothing and footwear. Stall counts and locations for each are on the street markets in Ribadesella page.
Across the three you'll also find antiques and second-hand books and magazines, which makes the town's markets worth a browse even if you are not shopping for dinner. Ribadesella sits on a run of eastern Asturian market towns: the Asturias province page lists the rest, and Llanes and Cangas de Onís both hold regular weekly markets close by. The Ribadesella tourism office carries up-to-date details.
