Get to Know the Market
A little background
vilés received its charter from Alfonso VII in 1155—one of the oldest surviving charters in the Kingdom of León-Castile—and has since maintained its status as a trading town linked to its estuary and port. The historic town has hosted periodic markets and fairs for centuries, and the current Avilés Street Market is a continuation of that weekly tradition, regulated by the Avilés City Council.
In recent decades, the redevelopment of the estuary and the 2011 opening of the Niemeyer Center have transformed Avilés’s waterfront and given new impetus to the city’s commerce. The Avilés Street Market remains a fixture in central Asturias, a regional meeting place, and a must-visit destination for discovering Avilés’ heritage and local commerce.
