Get to Know the Market
A little background
he origins of the Piantón Medieval Market date back to the final decades of the 19th century, when farmers and artisans from the region would travel to the town of Vegadeo to trade and sell their goods. As in so many other towns in Asturias, this itinerant commercial activity was initially tied to the agricultural calendar and livestock fairs, and over the generations it became one of the town’s most important social and economic gatherings.
With the arrival of the 20th century and the economic transformation of rural areas, Vegadeo’s weekly market evolved: it gave way to large textile and footwear stalls, incorporated vendors from other provinces, and became professionalized under municipal regulations. Many of today’s vendors are third- or fourth-generation members of families that have been attending this event for decades, maintaining a direct connection to the town’s commercial fabric.
Today, the Piantón Medieval Market maintains that popular spirit while adapting to new trends: organic products, contemporary crafts, local cuisine, and a close relationship with consumers that large shopping centers cannot offer. The City Council and the vendors’ association collaborate to preserve its traditional character right in the heart of Vegadeo.
