Coronación Street Market

Mercadillo Coronación is a 25-stall street market on Coronación de la Virgen Blanca Kalea in Vitoria-Gasteiz, and its hours are what set it apart from most Spanish street markets: 8:30am to 8pm Monday to Friday, rather than a couple of hours in the morning. On Saturday it runs 8:30am to 2pm, and it is closed on Sunday.

About Coronación Street Market

The stalls sit outdoors on the street rather than under a roof, and the six-day week means the market keeps local shopping hours instead of the single morning session you get at a weekly mercadillo. Payment is flexible for a street market: cash, contactless cards and mobile payments are all taken. There is a stallholders' phone line on +34 699 771 572 if you want to check what has come in before you walk over.

What you'll find at Coronación Street Market

Fish and seafood, fresh fruit and fresh vegetables are the core of the market, alongside bread and bakery stalls. A few sell clothing and textiles, so it works as a general shop rather than a produce-only stop.

Mercadillo Coronación opens 8:30am to 8pm Monday to Friday and 8:30am to 2pm on Saturday, and it is closed on Sunday.

What can you buy at Mercadillo Coronación?

Is Mercadillo Coronación wheelchair accessible?
