Feria Artesanal de Castro
Bedste tid at besøge
The best time to come is before noon, when the stalls are full of freshly delivered wool and there are still few people. Morning light best reveals the colorful patterns, and the craftswomen have time to chat.
Budgettips
Entry is free, and prices can be negotiated when buying multiple items. Bring cash, as most craftswomen do not accept cards.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Her spinder og væver håndværkerinder lokale uldprodukter, og i et enkelt tæppe kan der optræde op til 20 forskellige farvemønstre. Markedet er åbent hver dag, og ved bodene myldrer det konstant med både lokale og besøgende fra de omkringliggende øer.
Højdepunkter: Et par meter fra bodene står farverige huse på pæle, så mens du køber et uldtæppe, kan du se, hvordan fiskerkvarteret faktisk lever. Følg med i, hvordan håndværkerinderne med hænderne spinder tråde på trætener, som i løbet af få timer bliver til traditionelle maritime mønstre.
Insidertips
- Choose woolen goods in the morning, when the craftswomen have just brought fresh items.
- Take photos from the wooden pier, where the market is captured against the backdrop of colorful houses.
- Ask about handwoven belts, they sell out very quickly and rarely remain until the afternoon.
- When bargaining, it is worth speaking Spanish or at least showing a polite attitude, locals appreciate it with a discount.
