Feria Artesanal de Castro
Mejor época para visitar
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.
Consejos para el presupuesto
Entry is free, and prices can be negotiated when buying multiple items. Bring cash, as most craftswomen do not accept cards.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Aquí las artesanas hilan y tejen productos de lana local, y en una sola manta pueden aparecer hasta 20 patrones de colores distintos. El mercado funciona todos los días, y junto a los puestos siempre hay bullicio tanto de locales como de visitantes de las islas vecinas.
Destacados: A pocos metros de los puestos, sobre pilotes, se levantan casas de colores, así que mientras compras una manta de lana ves cómo vive realmente el barrio de pescadores. Observa cómo las artesanas hilan los hilos a mano en husos de madera, de los que en pocas horas nacen los tradicionales patrones marinos.
Consejos de expertos
- 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.
