Oles Traditional Market

The Mercáu astur de Oles is an authentic journey into Asturian traditions, which it faithfully recreates in all their essence. For three decades this market has become an unmissable summer event in the first fortnight of August on the central coast of Asturias, in the heart of the Mariñan territory.

It is no coincidence that this journey to the heart of traditions takes place in Oles, as it is an area of Asturias with strong roots and Asturian cultural heritage.

Throughout the weekend, theatrical performances, comedians, craftsmen, musicians, etc. add a touch of colour and atmosphere to this market, where samples of crafts and trades related to jet - there are important jet deposits in the area -, wood, clay and ceramics, among others, are on display. In fact, a large part of the market's success is due to the fact that it has become a great gathering of artisans.
