Castillo de Locub\u00edn does not have a market where garden and local products are sold, but on Monday mornings there is a small market of local products in the park tent. It is not very big, but it is worth visiting if your stay allows it.<\/p>\n
Castillo de Locub\u00edn has several bakeries where you can buy different types of bread, pastries, and artisanal cakes. As a curiosity, local and regional bakeries offer a home delivery service. They drive around the streets in vans honking their horns to announce their presence. If you’d like, you can flag them down and buy bread directly from them, and you can even arrange for them to deliver it to El Jard\u00edn de Castillo every day.<\/p>\n
If you prefer to take a walk in the morning to buy bread, here are the main bakeries:<\/p>\n
Panader\u00eda Jero.<\/a> It is very close to our accommodations, it is a traditional bakery, they have different types of bread, as well as cakes, ensaimadas and different sweets, do not forget to try the sweet potato fillings, they are a delight. At Easter they also have roscos and pesti\u00f1os typical of the area. This bakery is also famous for making the Castilian blanket, which is a rolled sponge cake filled with flan. To enjoy it, you will have to order it at least 24 hours in advance.<\/p>\n Panader\u00eda de Fraile.<\/a> On Avenida Andaluc\u00eda, right in front of the Castillo de Locub\u00edn Active Participation Center, you will find another artisan bakery from the nearby town of Frailes.<\/p>\n Panader\u00eda de la Plaza<\/a>.

It is a small establishment that sells candy, pastries, drinks, and products for a getaway. One of its main advantages is that it closes late at night and is open on weekends and holidays<\/strong>, which is great considering that all local businesses are closed on those days. In addition, at the entrance to the town and next to the notary’s office there is a 24-hour vending machine.<\/p>\n here are some of the places where you can buy groceries<\/p>\n Frutas y pescados Contreras.<\/a> It is located next to the Jero bakery.

She opens her garage daily to sell the products she collects from her garden. They’re completely local and seasonal, depending on what she harvests and what she sells. Her hours are uncertain, so if you see the garage door open, I invite you to step in and see what Salud is selling today.<\/p>\n Carnicer\u00eda Jaencash<\/a>.
