What you'll find at Somo Weekly Market

Fresh produce carries the market: seasonal fruit and vegetables from local growers, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy from regional producers, and bread and pastries from the bakery stalls.

Beyond the food, traders sell clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, and flowers and plants. The antiques and handicraft stalls are the ones worth a slow look, since they turn over differently from one Friday to the next.

How to get to Somo Weekly Market

The market sets up on Avenida Trasmiera and Calle Peñas Blancas, in Somo, part of the municipality of Ribamontán al Mar, 39100 Cantabria. Everything trades outdoors on the street itself, so it is worth dressing for the weather off the bay. Other Friday options across Cantabria are listed on the province page.

Where to stay in Somo

Somo is a small beach village, so staying close to the seafront puts you in the best spot for both the weekly market and the beach. Playa de Somo is your best bet, with a handful of guesthouses and surf-friendly accommodation just a short walk from where the market sets up.

If you prefer a bit more choice, the nearby town of Santander is just a short ferry ride across the bay and has plenty of hotels at every budget. You can cross over easily and still make it back in time to browse the stalls, which makes it a practical base if you want more comfort or amenities.
