Market days along the Primitivo

[betsyc]

Hello friends,
I'm planning my first Camino beginning in late May of this year and will be walking from Oviedo to Muxia. Somewhere in all the reading I've done I came across mention of one or more farmers markets which occur on a specific day of the week. For the life of me I can't remember where I read this. Does anyone here have knowledge of these, and which might be worth planning around? I'd be sad to learn about a wonderful one taking place the day after I'd passed through.
Thanks much!

There is a list of markets on week-days at the website Mercadillos semanal or the English version at Weekly markets in Asturias - note that Thursday onwards comes after the online section in both Spanish and English sites.
Also this old thread has some more days but it looks as though they might no longer take place.
Galicia does not have a market website but Lugo seems to have a Tuesday and a Friday market - in different locations in Lugo.
Some of these markets will be 'mixed' but usually they will have a farmers market type section.

in addition to my post above there is also this list of markets, with an interactive map, covering the whole of Asturias - that would help with seeing which are on the Camino... it is from 2023 so the other site has more up to date lists.

Thank you so much Tia! I also just noticed a thread on Markets in Grado with these and additional links.
