El Fontán invites you to look beyond monuments and notice everyday city life. Its arcades, the façades around the square and the covered market form an ensemble with a strong commercial character. Walk around the edges and see how the views change beneath the arches. Nearby stalls and shops sell food and Asturian products, with activity depending on the day and time. The square, the market building and the surrounding street markets are related but different spaces. Pause to discover ingredients that may later appear on an Asturian table. Ask permission before taking close photographs of traders or customers.
