Municipal Markets in Cacabelos

Cacabelos, positioned in León's Bierzo region, maintains its connection to traditional Spanish market culture through local food commerce.

This town of roughly 5,000 residents has historically served the surrounding wine-producing valleys, creating a natural gathering point for regional produce and goods.
