Mercado Ecológico y de Artesanía de Gijón
The Gijón Organic and Handicraft Market is the premier event for organic products from northern Spain and handicrafts in the fishing town of Gijón, in central Asturias. The Gijón Organic Market is held regularly in downtown Gijón and features stalls offering certified organic produce from the Principality of Asturias, alongside producers of artisanal cheese, honey, sourdough bread, Asturian craft beer, and preserves from the Cantabrian Sea. The crafts section complements the offerings with Gijón-based brands specializing in leather, ceramics, jewelry, and textiles. This market format has grown alongside the rise of “zero-kilometer” food and responsible consumption in Asturias, and today it is a must-visit for anyone wishing to discover the best organic Asturian cuisine and the work of local artisans from the north, all set against the backdrop of the Cantabrian Sea breeze and the lush green landscapes of Asturias.
