Opened in 1904, this large rectangular market, with a surface area of 1,998 m², is spread over two floors (lift). Declared a historical monument in 1977, this emblematic building of the city is one of the only buildings in Spain with 19th century iron architecture, with Corinthian columns and capitals. In total, it has almost a hundred stalls selling fruit, vegetables, meat and fish. It is best to come in the morning, and if possible first thing in the morning, so that you can do your shopping in peace.

Designed in 1840 by Antonio Zabaleta, the building was declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1986 and has since been completely rebuilt both inside and out. Nowadays it houses different types of shops and tapas bars, which on certain days organise "parades" of author's pintxos. It has the structure of a market, but it is no longer a market. However, you will be able to go shopping in one of the shops present and perhaps find what you are looking for. There is a practical information desk in the building.

Founded in 1962, this establishment is renowned for its delicious hot chocolates and churros. The churros are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and accompanied by a cup of thick, creamy hot chocolate. In addition to churros, the menu also offers a selection of cakes and tarts, as well as pastries and a variety of sandwiches. Chocolatería Áliva strives to satisfy all tastes and also offers a wide variety of hot and cold drinks.
