Algorta Street Market (Mercadillo de Algorta) sets up on Calle Kasune in Algorta, a coastal neighbourhood of Getxo in Biscay. The market runs every Wednesday and Saturday from 9am to 2pm, with around 30 stalls spread along the street. It's been a regular fixture for over 30 years, drawing mostly local shoppers looking for good deals on clothing and footwear. Cash, contactless, and mobile payments are all accepted. Get there early for the best selection, as stalls start packing up well before 2pm.
What you'll find
Clothing and footwear take up most of the stalls, with everything from casual wear to shoes at competitive prices. You'll also find leather bags, jewellery, and handicrafts. This is a non-food mercadillo, so don't expect fresh produce or food stalls. It's the kind of market where locals come back week after week for affordable everyday items rather than artisan goods.

Where to stay in Algorta
Algorta is a small coastal town, so your best bet is to stay close to the old port area, Puerto Viejo, where you're within easy walking distance of the market and the waterfront. For something a little more central, Algorta Centre puts you right in the heart of things without any fuss.
If you'd rather base yourself in nearby Getxo and make the short trip over, there are more accommodation options there, including Hotel Igeretxe, which sits right on the seafront and is only a few minutes from Algorta by foot or metro.
