Festivities of Saint Cosme and Saint Damian in Baiona

As every year at this time, Baiona dresses up for the festival in honor of Saint Cosme and Saint Damian. As part of this celebration, the Honey and Nuts Fair will also take place, where you can purchase these delicious products at various stalls.

For two days, Plaza de Santa Liberata will transform into a market offering a wide range of countryside products. From honey and nuts to fruits, vegetables, agricultural tools, local sausages, natural cosmetics like soaps, moisturizing creams, oils, as well as ornamental plants, antiques, and crafts, among others. Additionally, the market will extend to Glorieta de Colón, along Marqués de Quintanar Street.

To make your visit even more enjoyable, there will be live entertainment with performances from folklore groups, tambourine players, and parades. Here we present the schedule of events for this celebration:
