Markets Province Of Gipuzkoa

The La Bretxa shopping center has a fresh produce market, a supermarket and stores. Every morning, small producers display their products on open-air stalls. You will find an impressive selection of local products. This historic market was designed by architect Antonio Cortázar and later expanded by José de Goicoa. It takes its name (The Breach) from the place where it is located, having twice seen invaders enter the city through a breach created in the city walls.

Located on the ground floor of the Mendibil shopping centre, this charming covered market is very well stocked with cheese, vegetables, fruit, fish, meat and delicatessen. Here you won't be out of the ordinary, as many of its customers come from Hendaye, and even from Saint-Jean-de-Luz, to buy anchovies, olives or croquetas. Among its many stalls, don't miss the butcher Zubikoa, whose selection of Bellota ham is a marvel. Be patient, however, as it is often crowded in front of his stall.

This market is an unmissable event in the Basque Country, where the reference prices for each product are established every week! Since 1512, local products have been sold every Wednesday, and the streets of Ordizia are filled with the aroma of local produce. Stalls selling local fruit and vegetables, Idiazábal cheese, lamb, etc. are grouped together in a large hall built in 1925 in the Plaza Mayor. Special fairs are held there (see calendar).

Its location as a crossroads between Navarra, France and Castile has favoured the economic development of Tolosa. The Saturday markets are very lively: fresh produce at the Mercado del Tinglado, along Calle Solana, near the river, the flower and plant market in the Plaza Verdura, and textile products in the Plaza Euskal Herria. The Tinglado Market, built in 1899 and recently renovated, forms a beautiful architectural ensemble. Underneath their metal structure, people come here to buy good local produce, especially the famous beans!
