Laredo Weekly Market
The Laredo Weekly Market is one of the most notable commercial events on the eastern coast of Cantabria, held in the fishing village of Laredo, one of the “Four Seaside Towns” of the historic Cantabrian coast. The Laredo Weekly Market features stalls selling textiles, footwear, farm tools, food, fresh produce, and handicrafts in the old town, the historic center of Laredo, next to the Church of Santa María de la Asunción. The Laredo Weekly Market sees its foot traffic double during the summer thanks to tourists visiting La Salvé Beach, one of the largest beaches on the northern peninsula. With Laredo Bay in the background and the Cantabrian mist hovering over the sandy beach, this weekly event is a must-see for experiencing the coastal atmosphere and local commerce of eastern Cantabria.

Get to Know the Market
A little background
aredo was one of the Four Towns of the Sea on the Castilian Coast—along with Castro Urdiales, Santander, and San Vicente de la Barquera—and held strategic importance as a fishing and commercial port since the Middle Ages, to the point of having served as the embarkation point for kings and fleets of Castile. This commercial past is reflected in the tradition of periodic markets and fairs in the old town, the “puebla vieja” of Laredo, which has been designated a Historic-Artistic Site.
The current Laredo Weekly Market is regulated by the Laredo City Council and is held on a fixed schedule. In the summer, thanks to the influx of summer tourists, the market becomes particularly bustling, and it is a must-see stop on the commercial calendar of eastern Cantabria and for tourists along the Cantabrian coast.
