You will find your earlier thread linked in one of my earlier posts, and I have extracted the market information provided there into the document in the resources area. It was a great kick-start for that list.A fantastic resource. I remember asking this question a couple of years ago and getting a patchy response. I would also love to hear about local saints' days and holidays. There is something very special about a small village fiesta.
It has been lodged in the resources area, under Creature Comforts - Camino Food and Wine. Link in an earlier post, and here as well.I to support Kanga's idea to include a list of places and market days in the Resources page.
Primitivo, in Grado, Wednesdays and Sundays.
I've been to Padron market. It's big. No, I mean really BIG.Transitions Abroad's site has an article on the markets in Spain, and favourites the one in Padron (on the Camino Portugues route). I was looking for info on this one, as I had heard it was the largest in Galicia and has more than fruit & veg - is like a flea market. It's on Sunday mornings, and Transition Abroad describes it as follows: "Padron’s weekly market meanders throughout the town and onto the roads, radiating out of town. At the market’s heart there is a tent where merchants and visitors alike enjoy a traditional breakfast of steamed octopus seasoned with paprika and washed down with a hearty breakfast cup of red wine. Everything is for sale, from just-picked produce from the surrounding hills, fish, churros, breads, locally cured cheeses and sausages, and unlabeled local vintages, unlabeled because everyone knows who the winemaker is and his or her reputation."
Finding a reliable source of the dates of town festivals is difficult. I've tried for years. There is a great one in Puenta la Reina with traditional games and bull running, the same for Sahagun and all of these seem to follow the summer bull fighting circuit.You will find your earlier thread linked in one of my earlier posts, and I have extracted the market information provided there into the document in the resources area. It was a great kick-start for that list.
I puzzled over what I was prepared to manage as far as content was concerned, and decided that at the start I would limit this to a quite simple list of the markets. Should that be successful, I might have the time to extend that to town festivals.
