Markets in Grado have a tradition stretching back over 700 years, making this small Asturian town home to some of the oldest weekly markets in the region. Every Wednesday and Sunday, local producers set up stalls across Grado's central plazas and streets, selling Afuega'l Pitu cheese, fabas (the prized Asturian white beans), honey, cured meats, and fresh produce from the Cubia river valley.

What to expect at Grado's weekly market
The Sunday market is the bigger draw, attracting several thousand visitors. Stalls fill the town's plazas and spill into surrounding streets. You'll find everything from farm produce to clothing, handicrafts, and household goods. Most activity wraps up by early afternoon. Local shops and restaurants also open on Sunday mornings, so the whole town centre comes alive.
Grado sits on the Camino de Santiago's Primitive Way, so you'll often spot pilgrims stocking up at the market before continuing west. The town is also known for tocinillos de Grado, a traditional caramelized egg yolk sweet worth picking up from local bakeries.
