The Livestock and Craft Fair is a more specialised event, centred on meat and poultry alongside handmade crafts. It offers a glimpse into the working agricultural life of the area and is worth visiting for anyone interested in local producers and artisan goods.
The Santiago Fair of Amorebieta and the Sunday Clearance Market round out the five street markets. The Sunday Clearance Market is dedicated to clothing and footwear, making it a useful complement to the weekly market for shoppers focused on fashion and accessories.
