The traditional shopping streets are in the centre of Avilés, such as La Cámara, José Cueto, Fernández Balsera and La Fruta, an area where there is also a Shopping Mall. This traditional offer is complemented by the commercial centres located on the city outskirts, such as La Carriona, and the shopping and leisure centre in the neighbouring Corvera district.

There are also plenty shopping centres and areas in the city (the latter awarded with the National Prizes of Domestic Commerce), such as Calles San Bernardo, Los Moros, Corrida, Langreo, Asturias, Álvarez Garaya, Uría, Cabrales or Marqués de Casa Valdés. The district of La Calzada also has fine services on streets such as Calle Brasil and Avenida de La Argentina.
