Why go

This is a working market in the historic centre, where the ingredients of Basque cooking are visible before they reach a restaurant plate. Its large windows and riverside position also make the building worth examining. A focused browse adds a food stop to a walk through the old town without committing to a restaurant meal.

What to look for

  • Fish and seafood counters alongside produce stalls
  • Cheeses, cured meats and local food ingredients
  • The market building beside the estuary

Useful to know

  • Plan a morning visit for the produce market.
  • Treat the gastro bars as a separate option from browsing the fresh-food stalls.
