Where to stay in Salinas
Salinas is a small coastal town, so staying close to the beach and town centre puts you within easy reach of everything. The area around Avenida Juan Sitges is a good base, with the sea on one side and the town's shops and market spots on the other.
If you prefer somewhere with a bit more comfort, Playa de Salinas has a handful of guesthouses and small hotels where you can walk to the market and be back on the sand in minutes.

With five street markets running on weekly schedules, Salinas has more market activity than its modest size might suggest.

Checking the individual market listings below will give you the exact days for each.
For a larger market scene nearby, Avilés is a short drive away and worth combining with a trip.

Street markets in Salinas
The Raíces Organic Market is the most distinctive of the five, held indoors on the third Saturday of every month. Stalls carry organic produce, fresh fruit and vegetables, local honey, and spices and herbs, making it a reliable source of certified local food from the Asturian hinterland.
The Salinas Weekly Market runs outdoors on a regular weekly schedule and covers a broader range of goods, including fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and clothing. It is the most practical option for everyday shopping and draws a steady local crowd.
The Salinas Ecological Market adds another outdoor organic option to the town's calendar, focusing on organic produce alongside fresh fruit and vegetables. For something different, the Salinas Flea Market deals in antiques, books, and handicrafts, and is worth a browse if you enjoy hunting through second-hand and artisan goods. The Salinas Christmas Market rounds out the five, running outdoors and offering a seasonal alternative during the winter period.
