Where to stay in Bermeo
Bermeo is small enough that anywhere central puts you a few minutes' walk from both market pitches and the old town. Try Town Centre for the most convenient base, or look at Port Area if you want to wake up to views of the harbour.
Staying in Bermeo itself means you can reach both markets on foot before they close at 2pm, without needing a car.

Street markets in Bermeo
The Arrain Azoka, or Fish Fair, is the most distinctive of the two. Its 30 outdoor stalls focus on fish and seafood landed by the local fleet, alongside prepared foods and handicrafts. It is the market that most directly reflects what Bermeo does for a living.
The Bermeo Weekly Market is the larger, with 48 stalls selling fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, clothing, and footwear and leather goods. It is the town's general market, and the one to aim for if you want produce and household shopping rather than seafood. Both set up in the open air, within walking distance of the harbour.
Planning your visit
Both markets are held outdoors, so the weather is worth checking before you travel, particularly in the cooler months. For official local information, the Bermeo town hall website carries current event schedules and any seasonal changes to market dates.
What day is the market in Bermeo?
Tuesday is the confirmed trading day in Bermeo, when one of the town's two street markets sets up outdoors from around 9am until 2pm. The second market runs weekly as well, but its day is not confirmed in our records, so check the town hall listings before making a special trip for that one.
How many markets are there in Bermeo?
Bermeo has two markets, both of them outdoor street markets, and no municipal market hall. The larger is the Bermeo Weekly Market, with 48 stalls covering fruit, vegetables, clothing and footwear. The other is the Arrain Azoka fish fair, with 30 stalls weighted towards seafood and prepared food.
Are there markets in Bermeo at the weekend?
No, neither of Bermeo's two street markets has a confirmed Saturday or Sunday trading day. Tuesday is the town's only confirmed market day, running from around 9am to 2pm. The Arrain Azoka fish fair trades weekly as well, but its day is not confirmed in our records, so check the town hall listings before planning a weekend trip around it.
What can you buy at the markets in Bermeo?
Fish and seafood, fresh fruit and vegetables, clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, handicrafts and prepared foods are all sold across Bermeo's two street markets. The seafood comes from the town's own working fishing fleet, while the 48-stall weekly market handles most of the produce and clothing side.
What time do markets in Bermeo open?
Markets in Bermeo open at 9am and finish around 2pm, which is the standard morning pattern across both of the town's street markets. Both are outdoors, with no covered hall to shelter in, so a mid-morning arrival gives you the widest choice of the 48 weekly stalls and the 30 fish fair stalls alike.
